Black Leopard, Red Wolf is the kind of novel I never realized I was missing until I read it. A dangerous, hallucinatory, ancient Africa, which becomes a fantasy world as well-realized as anything Tolkien made, with language as powerful as Angela Carter''s. I cannot wait for the next installment'' Neil GaimanIn this stunning follow-up to his Man Booker-winning A Brief History of Seven Killings, Marlon James draws on a rich tradition of African mythology, fantasy and history to imagine an ancient world, a lost child, an extraordinary hunter, and a mystery with many answers...''The child is dead. There is nothing left to know.''Tracker is a hunter, known throughout the thirteen kingdoms as one who has a nose - and he always works alone.

Why do so many people want to stop him being found? And, most important of all, who is telling the truth and who is lying?Marlon James weaves a tapestry of breathtaking adventure through a world at once ancient and startlingly modern. And, against this exhilarating backdrop of magic and violence, he explores the fundamentals of truth, the limits of power, the excesses of ambition, and our need to understand them all.Black Leopard, Red Wolf is the first novel in Marlon James''s Dark Star Trilogy.>
