About this listen

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.

Critic reviews

"It was easy to stay up well past lights out to [listen to] just one more chapter - and then one more...." (James Oswald)

"Shocking and perceptive." (Guardian)

"Engaging." (Sunday Times)
All stars

An engaging story of an 'out of his depth', flawed and accidental investigator. The African perspectives and underpinning cultural values were enlightening and made the story take unexpected twists. Excellent narration. Another winner from this talented author.

Great storytelling
