Shortlisted for The 2012 Caine Prize (African Booker) 2012

Hunter Emmanuel, an ex-police officer comes across a woman’s amputated leg while lumbering in the forest. This discovery lures him into an unauthorised investigation where he finds, as he unravels into paranoia and obsession, that nothing can be taken at face value in the shadowed place where secrecy and duplicity go hand in hand.
