The Monkey Stones

By Michele Sheldon

Three friends become caught up in a monkey worshipping cult when a stone circle suddenly appears overnight next to their home.

The cult is headed by famous racing driver Gordon Smash who disappeared in the Amazon rainforest in the 90s after a stunt went badly wrong. Alongside space tech billionaire Micky Minosa, Gordon Smash declares monkeys Emile, Zola and Titus are gods who must be blasted into space to receive a message from alien overlords on how to save Earth.

Will the monkeys and their superfan Jesse, an African grey parrot, save the world from climate destruction? Or are they being used by evil forces to scam us all?

Bernard and his best friends Larold and Kris try to uncover the shocking truth about saving the planet but will it be too late to save the monkeys?

The Monkey Stones can be read as a standalone novel or as part of the The Missing Fur series with The Mystery of the Missing Fur and The Macaw of Doom.

It is a fast-paced comedy crime caper set in the English countryside with a cast of crazy characters who are intent on stealing Emile, Zola and Titus from monkey parent Bernard, his two best friends, and their animal friends including a giant anteater, two tigers, 22 lemurs, one capybara and a super-furred cat.

The books are themed around conservation and endangered species and set around Folkestone, Kent, the Amazon and Manchester.
