cpList = List();
firstName = input.Contact_Name.first_name;
lastName = input.Contact_Name.last_name;
contactName = firstName + " " + lastName;
contactMap = Map();
contactMap.put("contact_name",contactName);
contactMap.put("company_name",input.Company_Name);
contactMap.put("website",input.Website);
billingMap = Map();
billingMap.put("zip",input.Billing_Address.postal_Code);
billingMap.put("country",input.Billing_Address.country);
billingMap.put("address",input.Billing_Address.address_line_1);
billingMap.put("street2",input.Billing_Address.address_line_2);
billingMap.put("city",input.Billing_Address.district_city);
billingMap.put("state",input.Billing_Address.state_province);
contactP = Map();
contactP.put("first_name",firstName);
contactP.put("last_name",lastName);
contactP.put("designation",input.Designation);
contactP.put("department",input.Department);
contactP.put("contact_salutation","Mr/Mrs");
contactP.put("mobile",input.Mobile_Phone);
contactP.put("phone",input.Phone_Number);
contactP.put("email",input.Email);
contactP.put("is_primary_contact",true);
contactMap.put("billing_address",billingMap);
cpList.add(contactP);
contactMap.put("contact_persons",cpList);
params = Map();
params.put("JSONString",contactMap);
createContact = invokeurl
[
url :"https://books.zoho.eu/api/v3/contacts?organization_id="
type :POST
parameters:params
connection:"books"
];
This was the way i was able to make it work.

There might need to be an authentication token for 'books' included in the headers. Check the books.zoho API documentation to see if there is information regarding creating and using an API token.
Also by adding detailed:true to the invokeurl call you can get some visibility into any information or error-messages in the response from invokeurl. Here is some example code:
response = invokeurl
[
url : "https://books.zoho.eu/api/v3/contacts?orgainization_id=20077348839
type :POST
parameters:datamap
connection:"books_contact_auth"
detailed:true
];
// To see all headers and content
info response;
