      About This Book

      '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 . . . endemic corruption, sultry sexuality and casual, slapdash violence . . . A rock-and-roll edge' The Financial Times

      'Brutal, uncompromising and thought-provoking . . . superb' M. W. Craven

      'A magnificent tour de force' Adrian Tchaikovsky

      'Smart. Gripping. Fabulous!' Ann Leckie

      'Mesmerising' M. R. Carey
