Black Leopard, Red Wolf
The story of a lost child, an extraordinary hunter, and a mystery with many answers...
Tracker is known far and wide for his skills as a hunter, and he always works alone. But when he is engaged to find a child who disappeared three years ago, he must break his own rules by joining a group of mercenaries to find the boy. Following the lost boy's scent from one ancient city to another, into dense forests and across deep rivers, Tracker starts to wonder: Who is this boy? Why do so many people want to stop him from being found? And most importantly, who is lying?
Drawing from vivid African history and mythology, Marlon James weaves a saga of breathtaking adventure and powerful intrigue — a mesmerizing, unique meditation on the nature of truth and power.
Black Leopard, Red Wolf is an enthralling journey rich with enigma and excitement.
