Audio / Video - The Neanderthal in me

Busy weekend! Here is an audio recording of a short story I wrote about one of my interests, Neanderthals. The photo, by the way, is actually me, with my features morphed into those of a Neanderthal. This is something you can get done at the Natural History Museum in Vienna. Very good fun!

Plot summary

The story takes place in 2011 and centres on CeliaThomas who lives in Munich with her husband and son, and works as an art restorer. Sixteen years earlier in 1995, her brother Ned Atkinson, a British journalist, was killed in the civil war in Bosnia Herzegovina. At the time she didn’t have any doubts about the circumstances of his death, but on a business trip to Zagreb, organized by Colonel Ivan Kaiec, a former Croatian soldier now turned successful businessman, Celia becomes convinced that Ned is still alive. When she starts to investigate, she stirs up a lot of trouble for both herself and other people. Attempts are made to assassinate Celia and to destroy the evidence that she uncovers. This evidence shows high level collaboration on illegal arms deals made between British and Croatian government officials in the 90s which indirectly supported ethnic cleansing.

Celia is able to enlist helpers to her investigation, but not everybody is as friendly as they seem….
