Shocking and perceptive' guardian 'it was easy to stay up well past lights out to read just one more chapter - and then one more...' james oswald 'engaging' sunday times Longlisted for the cwa gold dagger Meet weston kogi, a london supermarket store detective. He returns home to his west african home country for his aunt's funeral. He sees his family, his ex-girlfriend nana, his old school mate church. Food is good, beer is plentiful, and telling people he works as a homicide detective seems like harmless hyperbole, until he wakes up in hell. He is kidnapped and forced by two separate rebel factions to investigate the murder of a local hero, papa busi. The solution may tip a country on the brink into civil war. Making wolf is the outrageous, frightening, violent and sometimes surreal homecoming experience of a lifetime. Praise for tade thompson: 'breathtaking landscapes and intoxicating food and drink . . .
