## Description

FROM THE BOOKER PRIZE-WINNING AUTHOR OF THE PROMISE A breathtaking parable of death and deception from the Booker Prize-winning author. Damon Galgut’s ‘lost’ novel, written in 1995 but unpublished outside South Africa for ten years. On a lonely stretch of road a nameless man commits a murder. The victim is a religious minister on his way to take up a post in a nearby town. The murderer decides to steal the dead man’s identity in order to conceal the crime. But one of his first duties as the new minister is to bury a body that has just been discovered in suspicious circumstances. As the corpse is laid to rest the manhunt begins… In The Quarry , Galgut’s tender prose combines with the power of myth to create a devastating drama, alive with tension.
