The Fourth Monkey (4MK Thriller, #1)

by J.D. Barker

The four monkeys comes from the Tosho-gu Shrine in Nikko, Japan, where a carving of three apes resides above the entrance. The first covering his ears, the second covering his eyes, and the third covering his mouth, they depict the proverb “Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil.” The fourth monkey represents “Do no evil.”

Women were perfectly capable of handling pain but not emotion. Men handled emotion but not pain.

“Mizaru means see no evil, Kikazaru means hear no evil, and Iwazaru means speak no evil.”
