　　「謊言即真實，而真實本身是一個不斷流轉、變幻之物。」

　　Tracker 以靈敏的嗅覺聞名十三個王國。受雇參與了搜尋一名三年前失蹤至今的男孩的行動，他打破了獨來獨往的習慣，發現自己加入了一個組成複雜的團隊，裡頭充滿了不尋常的人物，包括能改變形體的半獸人Leopard、巨人、女巫等等，他們帶著各自的秘密而來。

　　「我希望能找到他，」他們的雇主留下彷彿謎題的訊息：「但一定也有人希望他永遠保持失蹤。」於是，一個謎題後接著無數個謎題……。

　　當Tracker循著男孩留下的氣味，來到古老的城市、進入濃密的森林、涉過深河，他和他的同伴們屢次被不知名的生物攻擊，Tracker不經開始懷疑：那個失蹤男孩到底是誰？他為什麼消失了這麼久？為什麼那麼多人試圖阻止Tracker找到他？而在這其中，最重要的問題可能是：誰說的是真相，誰又在說謊？

　　融合非洲歷史和神話故事，以及豐富的想像力，Marlon James帶來了一部前所未有的小說：一連串令人屏息、引人入勝的冒險故事，充滿強烈的人物角色。本書既讓人驚喜又富含深度，探詢了真實的根本、力量的極限，以及我們探求這兩者的必要。
