Angelfish

In the fall of 1992 Sarajevo is under siege. Hallie, an American doctor, joins the flood of humanitarian workers, well-meaning, but clueless, pouring into the city. Thirty-two and unmarried, Hallie is at a moment of desperation. She has a boyfriend, but the relationship is stalled and her life, in fact everybody's life, seems trivial. She wants a purpose and what nobler cause could there be than saving people from genocide? But as she is drawn in to the lives of fellow volunteers and Sarajevo's locals, she discovers that good and evil are not easily separated, especially in her own actions. ANGELFISH is a well-researched literary suspense novel set during the Balkan wars. The story weaves a rich historical tapestry, drawing upon the genocide of the last century and foreshadowing today's conflict with the Islamic world.
