Malheur: A Balkan War Mystery (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A number of young survivors of the Yugoslav wars of secession are determined to help bring war criminals to justice. Untrained and unauthorized, they work independently, each devising their own way of collecting incriminating evidence. Risking their lives, they spy, record testimonies of torture victims, and track fugitives as far as Eastern Oregon. The mix of romance, assassin's bullets, and Balkan?/?cowboy culture clashes keep the narrative moving.

This complex story of international intrigue follows the historical events of the breakup of Yugoslavia in the 1990s to the desolate wilderness of the Malhuer Wildlife Refuge. The preface and epilogue summarize the Balkan tragedy for the reader.

Autorenporträt

Pamelia Barratt has lived on both the east and west coasts of the United States. She grew up in Chicago, summered in Wisconsin, lived for extended periods of time in Switzerland and Britain, and volunteered for ten years with a development nonprofit that works in the high Andes of Bolivia. After a career as a high school chemistry teacher, she became a journalist in San Diego, and then discovered the thrill of writing fiction. Her first novel, "Blood: the Color of Cranberries", was published in 2009. It was followed by "An Ostentation" two years later. "Gray Dominion" is her third mystery.

"My hodgepodge background has offered a great source of characters and situations to draw on for storytelling. Birds and nature continually renew my spirits," Pamelia says. It's no wonder that creatures of the wild assume important roles in her stories.
