When international correspondent Tom Craig travels to Malawi to report on a mysterious string of murders terrorizing the tiny country, he discovers another mystery that must be solved, this one very close to his heart. He decides to revisit Joss, a woman with whom he had a passionate affair some years back and who is married to the newly arrived American ambassador to Malawi. Although they last parted vowing never to meet again, he is secretly hoping to see her. But he discovers that the woman at the ambassador's side is an imposter. He also learns he's had a daughter by Joss who is in mortal danger. As he struggles to find out what happened to Joss and save his daughter, Tom is also solving the mystery of the string of murders with possible political links, reportedly being committed by a leopard-man. His view of life evolves as he confronts African myth very much alive in Malawi, threats to his own life, and deep desire for justice and family.

Industry Reviews

I love novels like this, fictional narratives, set-in real-world circumstances. Hunter has many years of intimate experience in Africa, and I was able to get a good sense of his in Malawi. He brings the settings of his story alive with explicitly descriptive detail. His complex, yet easily related to the narrator is authentic, knowledgeable, and believable. The plot is whimsical. As a devotee of books like this, I highly recommend this one. Thumbs up, Hunter.

When Tom Craig, a hard-boiled reporter arrives in Malawi to investigate a series of bizarre murders, he looks up his old flame, Joss. But when he meets the once breezy, sensual Joss, he smells a rat. The novel, "Joss" is a page-turner, set in an African country, off-the-beaten-track. Hunter's novel has an authentic feel--of a writer who knows the continent very well.
