In a crumbling Yugoslavia, Marko della Torre navigates chaos and danger in Zagreb Cowboy, a thrilling tale of survival and revenge.
Set against the backdrop of a disintegrating Yugoslavia in 1991, Zagreb Cowboy introduces readers to Marko della Torre, a secret policeman entangled in the murky waters of political chaos. As the state begins to crumble, Marko finds himself straddling both sides of the law, but his precarious balance leads him to a point of no return. When a corrupt officer named Strumbic aligns himself with three ruthless Bosnian thugs, Marko's life is thrown into jeopardy as they hunt him down with deadly intent.
In a desperate bid for survival, Marko embarks on a perilous journey that takes him through Croatia, Italy, and ultimately to London. His mission is not just to escape but to confront Strumbic, seeking revenge and retribution for the betrayal he faced. The narrative unfolds with gripping tension, as each twist and turn reveals the depth of Marko's character and the lengths he will go to reclaim his life.
Zagreb Cowboy is not just a thriller; it is infused with dark humor and sharp dialogue that keeps readers engaged from start to finish. As the debut novel in a promising crime fiction series, it sets the stage for an exhilarating exploration of morality, survival, and the human spirit in the face of chaos.
"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
