A Blue Monkey

As a young boy visiting the Bronx Zoo, Robert Alexander glimpses a very special monkey; a blue monkey sitting in the shadows of a cage, a blue monkey that appears to cry a tear.

So begins a lifetime quest to rediscover this most enigmatic creature, a primate of such unusual disposition, an animal whose very existence is unproven.

As a mystery turns into an adventure, then evolves into an odyssey, Robert is drawn ever deeper into the exotic hearts of Africa and South America.

A fertile, luscious novel of elegant, captivating prose, A Blue Monkey challenges the nature of faith and belief.

It is a story full of life’s riches, a novel that builds into a beautiful exploration of the natural world and human psyche.
