The Wolf of Sarajevo cover

A taut international political thriller by Matthew Palmer that explores the legacy of the Yugoslav wars of the 1990s.

'Compelling tour of Bosnia by a seasoned diplomat and first-class storyteller' Bill Clinton

A diplomat deals with the legacy of the devastating Yugoslav wars in this dynamic thriller from the acclaimed author of The American Mission.

Diplomat Eric Petrosian has returned to Sarajevo, twenty years after the horrors of the Srebrenica massacre which took the life of his friend.

The spectre of war again hangs over the Balkans. The Bosnian Serb leader is now threatening to pull Bosnia apart in a bloody struggle for control. Pulling the strings from the shadows is a ruthless organised crime figure.

As Eric is dragged deeper into the political maelstrom, he uncovers an ambitious plot of blackmail and treachery and faces an impossible choice: use that information to atone for the past – or use it to shape the future.

Perfect for fans of John le Carré, Daniel Silva and Ken Follett.
