Zagreb Cowboy: A Marko Della Torre Novel

Zagreb Cowboy: A Marko Della Torre Novel

Yugoslavia, 1991. The State is crumbling, and in the midst of the political chaos secret policeman Marko della Torre has been working both sides of the law — but somewhere along the way he's crossed the line. When a corrupt cop called Strumbic helps three hired Bosnian thugs to hunt him down and kill him, della Torre makes a run for it through Croatia, Italy, and finally to London, where he’ll take Strumbic for all he's worth. A page-turning thriller shot through with black humour and razor-sharp dialogue, Zagreb Cowboy is the spectacular debut novel in a taut new crime fiction series. " Zagreb Cowboy is invigorating Euro noir, dark and energizing as good coffee. Alen Mattich’s series is off like a shot." — Andrew Pyper, author of The Killing Circle and The Guardians Alen Mattich was born in Zagreb, Croatia, and grew up in Libya, Italy, Canada, and the United States. A financial journalist and columnist, he's now based in London and writes for Dow Jones and the Wall Street Journal.
