In the spirit of David Lynch's Lost Highway, Derek Raymond's Factory Series and Ted Lewis' Brit-Grit thrillers, John Bowie's Viking is a neo-noir dark and brooding thriller. . . .

. . .

A NEO-NOIR HONEYMOON FROM HELL

He thought he'd given it up to start over. The drinking… and the killing. Ghosts haunt John and Cherry’s honeymoon escape in the jungles of Malaysia and Borneo as the release of nihilist criminals linked to John’s past triggers death and destruction back home. When their luxury island resort is raided by savage pirates, it’s clear everything is connected and they can’t hide from destiny. To love, hate—kill or be killed. And most of all, the ghosts are as real as they are. Past, present and future. Forever trapped in a matrix of fate. Love, hate, kill…repeat. . . .
