Monkey Puzzle eBook

Winner of the CWA Golden Dagger for Best Crime Novel

Introducing Detective Lieutenant Jack Stryker. An obsessive, an oddball and - occasionally - a genius. Originally published in 1985, Monkey Puzzle is a vintage, suspenseful whodunit from Paula Gosling.

Grantham University, Ohio. When a professor is viciously murdered, campus is set on edge. There are myriad potential suspects - one of whom happens to be connected to Stryker’s past.

The murderous attacks continue. Now, in the blank-faced and mazed city, death has become vicious, secret and cold. Somewhere out there, an ego is coiled, waiting.

The city and the campus panic. With his sidekick Toscarelli, Stryker is trapped in a maze of conflicting motives, emotions and clues. And at the center of the maze awaits a monster.
