A criminal mastermind. A detective haunted by doubt. A city on the brink.
In Shock the Monkey, author James Capper spins a thrilling tale of justice, deception, and a mysterious figure known only as "The Monkey"-a legendary thief with a reputation for vanishing without a trace. When a new string of high-profile heists mirrors a decades-old case, Detective Ian Fisk is forced to confront a chilling possibility: the man already imprisoned for the crimes may be innocent... or the true mastermind may still be at large.
Teamed up with the sharp and relentless Detective Roni, Ian races against time through the dark underbelly of Los Angeles, facing corrupt institutions, haunting pasts, and a criminal web more complex than anyone imagined. As secrets unravel and loyalties are tested, Ian must decide how far he's willing to go in the pursuit of justice-even if it means confronting the very system he's sworn to protect.
Shock The Monkey blends the sharp psychological depth of Mindhunter with the pulse-pounding action of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. If you're a fan of gritty crime fiction with a twist of noir and a dash of conspiracy, this gripping novel is your next obsession.
