– A psycho-spiritual novel – part Faust-with-a-twist, part Hollywood-style blockbuster

Jon Lucke is a thirty-something adman with an unhappy marriage, a failing business and a lifetime of disappointments – until he has a chance meeting with the urbane, ultra-rich Marco Brancusi... Jon is lured into Marco’s orbit and catapulted with bewildering speed into a world of glittering success, where it seems all he has ever dreamed of is at last within his reach...
And that’s just the book-within-the-book, created by the reclusive David O’Connor...
Gradually David’s alter ego begins to see what he has lost in gaining a life of power and luxury; and when the true nature of what he’s involved in begins to unfold, he has to make some dangerously difficult choices...
And from then on, you’re never quite sure what’s real and what’s not...
Part Faust-with-a-twist, part Hollywood-style blockbuster, Monkey Trap zips along, mingling psycho-spiritual insight with out-and-out adventure in an entertaining and thought-provoking mix
