Heart of the Hunter

NOW A MAJOR NETFLIX FILM

The big man known as 'Tiny' has a past littered with violence and death. An assassin's past that he hopes never to face again.

But when his best friend is kidnapped, Tiny suddenly finds himself on the back of a stolen motorbike, speeding away from his child and the woman he loves.

Tiny has only 72 hours in which to deliver a computer disk that one group of people would kill to possess, and another would kill to destroy. If he fails, his best friend dies.

HEART OF THE HUNTER is the tale of one man's struggle for survival against a corrupt government, a group of bloodthirsty killers and most of all, against his past.

Winner of the deutsche Krimipreis, International Category, 2006. Winner of the ATKV Prize for commercial fiction. Longlisted for the IMPAC Literary Award 2005 Selected Chicago Tribune’s ‘The 10 best mysteries and thrillers of 2004

""Heart of the Hunter" is the dark, explosive side of Alexander McCall Smith's Botswana books, as full of love for the vast beauty of the country but also riddled by the anger of South Africa's recent racial and political struggles." "CHICAGO TRIBUNE"

"A rip-roaring adventure, a portrait of spy-world duplicity and a look at South Africa's post-apartheid politics. But this thriller is also an ambitious attempt to create a mythic hero." --Patrick Anderson, "THE WASHINGTON POST"
