Engaged to track down a mysterious boy who disappeared three years earlier, Tracker breaks his own rule of always working alone when he finds himself part of a group that comes together to search for the boy. The band is a hodgepodge, full of unusual characters with secrets of their own, including a shape-shifting man-animal known as Leopard. As Tracker follows the boy's scent -- from one ancient city to another; into dense forests and across deep rivers -- he and the band are set upon by creatures intent on destroying them. As he struggles to survive, Tracker starts to wonder: Who, really, is this boy? Why has he been missing for so long? Why do so many people want to keep Tracker from finding him? And perhaps the most important questions of all: Who is telling the truth, and who is lying? Drawing from African history and mythology and his own rich imagination, Marlon James has written a novel unlike anything that's come before it: a saga of breathtaking adventure that's also an ambitious, involving read. Defying categorization and full of unforgettable characters, Black Leopard, Red Wolf is both surprising and profound as it explores the fundamentals of truth, the limits of power, and our need to understand them both."--Publisher's description Tracking and trailing Fiction Missing children Fiction Shapeshifting Fiction Adaptations Fiction Fantasy fiction ddc B 180328 180328 0 0 PPAK G 2021-01-03 2 2 813.6 JAM A01665054 2026-04-19 11:25:23 2026-03-12 B 0 0 SP G 2021-01-03 813.6 JAM A01665055 2021-01-03 00:00:00 B 0 0 JT G 2021-01-03 813.6 JAM A01665056 2021-01-03 00:00:00 B 0 0 LW G 2021-01-03 2 813.6 JAM A01665057 2023-06-22 11:15:44 2023-05-22 B 0 0 KM G 2021-01-03 2 813.6 JAM A01665058 2023-10-30 16:22:52 2023-10-11 B 0 0 BL G 2021-01-03 813.6 JAM A01665059 2021-01-03 00:00:00 B 0 0 BB G 2021-01-03 813.6 JAM A01665060 2021-01-03 00:00:00 B
