Malheur:
A Balkan War Mystery
by Pamelia Barratt
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.
