Neil Randall is delighted to announce that his new novel The Belgrade School Shootings will be published by Alien Buddha Press on the18th of May. This is the first book in The Belgrade Trilogy which also includes forthcoming novels From Belgrade with Love and Goodbye to Belgrade.
Although written last year, the novel could not be more topical or relevant considering the ongoing civil disturbances that have broken out in Serbia over the last six months - events which Randall accurately predicted in the trilogy.
Here's a brief breakdown of the plot:
When Issak Lazarevic, Serbia’s best-known contemporary writer, guns down ten of his pupils, the nation reels in disbelief. Was it madness or something more deliberate?
In the wake of the massacre, veteran journalist Jelena Basturk, Lazarevic's former partner and once fiercest admirer, begins her own investigation. What she uncovers is a labyrinth of contradictions: strange sightings, eerie manuscripts written before the events they describe, and a network of educators seemingly influenced by the writer's cryptic agenda.
As Serbia descends into chaos, with schools shuttered, and books burned on Republic Square, and cities torn apart by the protests, Jelena races to unravel the truth behind Lazarevic's violent act and the disturbing prophecies that follow. When two new manuscripts arrive at her doorstep, predicting even darker chapters to come, she realises the story is far from over.
Be sure to mark the date in your diary: 18th May.
If you can't wait that long, why not check out Randall's published work on Amazon.
