The Refusal Camp
Buy the book from:
This collection brings together nine stories about war, crime, captivity and the damage left by violence. Its settings range from the American Revolution and a Nazi forced-labour complex to a North Korean prison camp, wartime Boston and speculative twentieth-century America.
Individual stories follow an enslaved boy seeking revenge, prisoners resisting guards and collaborators, police confronting murder, and soldiers forced to decide what survival will cost. Recurring characters from the Billy Boyle novels appear alongside new protagonists, but the collection stands independently as a series of historical mysteries and wartime tales.
