Thrown to the Wolves: In the third and final novel of the Wolf Trilogy. New Zealand journalist Steve Carpenter, now a freelance Foreign Correspondent teams up once again with his friend and cousin Inspector Petros Zymaras to solve two separate murders that have international repercussions. Both cases involve tourists and Carpenter desperate for a story, initially, delves into exploring the world of sex tourism only to find that in one of the cases a more sinister and deadly element raises its head. Carpenter finds himself becoming an assassination target in the dark streets of Agia Napa and Nicosia for reasons that neither he nor Zymaras can at first fathom.
This is what has been said about the previous two novels of the series.
THE HOUR OF THE GREY WOLF
“... is a crime story ... in many ways, it defies the genre. It is literary fiction as well, experimental in form, so experimental that, simply linked together with logic, the parts should not work together to form that coherent whole. And yet they do. ... a compelling page-turner, a classic whodunit. ... I kept turning the pages and am certain other readers will too. The overall effect of The Hour of the Grey Wolf cannot be denied: the setting and characters are still resonating with me ...” ANTONY MILLEN – Crime Watch
“... is for those who like comedy, tragedy, a murder mystery, and romance along with a wide range of cultural and historical references, conservation ethics and political insight. The New Zealand/Cypriot narrator can offer both an insider and an outsider view of the situation in Cyprus when tensions between Greeks and Turks, as well as factions within the Greek community, were at their height. Surely, something for everyone.” NELSON WATTIE
“... I recommend it on two levels – a literary experiment and a ripping good yarn.”
PAUL BROOKS – Midweek and NZ Herald
“... is a handsome book and something to be really proud of. A real achievement – and a remarkable work in broadening the range and the depth of inquiry of the New Zealand novel.” KEVIN IRELAND – NZ poet/novelist
“... Moisa takes the readers on an exciting journey influenced by his roots with this compelling literary page turner ...Moisa delivers a unique and atmospheric whodunnit that is richly textured with history, philosophy and labyrinthine politics. Pleasingly its the first in a series.” CRAIG SISTERSON – New Zealand Books
Wolves in Dogs’ Clothing
“No. 2 in fascinating Trilogy ... Chris has done his research and knows the time and place of which he writes ... but his own writing skills give honesty to the characters and how they live their lives. ... Once introduced to the novels of Chris Moisa one is hooked.” PAUL BROOKS - Midweek/New Zealand Herald
“Moisa gives the reader a terrific geography lesson, in the style of Elmore Leonard ... It is an excellent read for one who enjoys a well-spun story. AMAZON BOOKS
“ Moisa writes with the assuredness of someone who is in total command of his craft ... It’s a style that I appreciate. I learn while I am enthralled by the action. DOUG DAVIDSON – River City Press
“ ... Like all good historical fiction, there are plenty of other interesting things to learn ... Moisa accurately embeds his story in this tumultuous era ... If the second part of any trilogy should take its protagonist into the darkest places, then Moisa has succeeded in spades. ANTONY MILLEN - Crime Watch
It is difficult for New Zealand writers to get their novels published especially one who has started so late as myself. Also there is a parochial tendency for CREATIVE NEW ZEALAND not helping with novels set in other countries unless you are a long published writer.
