Set against the backdrop of 1970s reggae culture, disco, sex and excess comes this remarkable re-imagining of the attempted assassination of Bob Marley
1976 Seven gunmen storm Bob Marley's house, machine guns blazing. The reggae superstar survives, but the gunmen are never caught.

From the acclaimed author of 'The Book of Night Women' comes a dazzling display of masterful storytelling exploring this near-mythic event. Spanning three decades and crossing continents, 'A Brief History of Seven Killings' chronicles the lives of a host of unforgettable characters - slum kids, one-night stands, drug lords, girlfriends, gunmen, journalists, and even the CIA.

Gripping and inventive, ambitious and mesmerising, 'A Brief History of Seven Killings' is one of the most remarkable and extraordinary novels of the twenty-first century.
