A murder confession tangled with a secret war on evil

Jane Charlotte’s arrest for murder opens into a psychiatric-wing interrogation centered on an extraordinary claim: she belongs to a covert group that identifies and eliminates “irreedeemable” people, known internally as Bad Monkeys. As a doctor questions her account, the book keeps the key possibilities in contention—whether Jane is truthful, mentally unwell, or pursuing another agenda. The setup uses the interview between prisoner and examiner to explore guilt, judgment, institutional authority, and the unsettling idea of deciding who is beyond redemption.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers of psychological suspense built around uncertain testimony
  • Fans of conspiracy-inflected thrillers and secret organizations
  • Readers interested in moral questions about punishment and evil

“Bad Monkeys has wit and imagination by the bucketload. . . . Buy it, read it, memorize then destroy it. There are eyes everywhere.”

--Chris Moore, bestselling author of A Dirty Job and Lamb

Jane Charlotte has been arrested for murder. She tells police that she is a member of a secret organization devoted to fighting evil; her division is called the Department for the Final Disposition of Irredeemable Persons--“Bad Monkeys” for short. This confession earns Jane a trip to the jail's psychiatric wing, where a doctor attempts to determine whether she is lying, crazy, or playing a different game altogether.

Clever and gripping, full of unexpected twists and turns, teasing existential musings, and captivating prose, Bad Monkeys unfolds at lightning speed, taking readers to another realm of imagination.
