Besnilo is part of the London creative opus of Borislav Pekić. Using elements of crime, political, and science fiction, Pekić has crafted a novel that delves into the horror without redemption—a depiction of ancient human guilt for which one must pay the full price.

More thrilling than Forsyth, more exciting than Stephen King, and more dynamic than Arthur Hailey—this Pekić novel is a breathless read.

The events in the book are fictional, but their possibility is real. The choice of London's Heathrow Airport is coincidental. The characters are also fictional. Certain facts are adapted to meet the demands of the story, which itself adheres to the traditional "rules of the game" of this paraliterary genre.
