The Devil’s Garden: A War Crimes Investigator’s Story
This article is about the 2013 book relating to the investigation of war crimes and crimes against humanity in the territory of the former Yugoslavia. For other uses, see The Devil’s Garden (disambiguation).

The Devil’s Garden: A War Crimes Investigator’s Story (2013) by John Cencich, a former United Nations international war crimes investigator with the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia headquartered at The Hague, Netherlands. From the real world of war criminals, assassins, and spies, comes a true story of life, and often death, on the streets and in the darkest corners of the earth. The title, a double entendre, is derived in part from a region in Croatia—Gorski Kotar—that was called hortus diabolicus (the Devil’s Garden) by the Romans. The book takes the reader from Pittsburgh’s “Mala Jaska” and the Michigan Upper Peninsula communities of Red Jacket (now Calumet) and Mohawk, to Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Kosovo, and to many other locations throughout the Balkans. The book’s epigraph reads: “To war crimes investigators throughout the world, ‘Let justice be done thought the heavens fall,’” from the Latin maxim “Fiat justitia ruat caelum.”
