HISTORY IS (usually) TOLD BY THE VICTOR...

Hibiscus Island, Papua New Guinea: The eve of a ceasefire in a dirty war for gold.
But there's more work to be done and no room in the morgue.

It's Spin Doctor versus Witch Doctor as the Hotel Hibiscus explores the banality of violence in a world where the political has just got dangerously personal. Brutally revealing and highly entertaining, this searing political thriller hacks through a jungle of lies and taboos. 

Inspired by his experience covering the war on Bougainville for The Times and BBC, reporter Robert Cockburn has crafted an extraordinary fictional tale... just a stone's throw away from our real world.

He learnt the lessons of history - and couldn't wait to repeat them.
