Winner of the 2015 Man Booker Prize One of Entertainment Weekly's Top 10 Books of the Decade One of the Top 10 Books of 2014 – Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times A “thrilling, ambitious . . . intense” (Los Angeles Times) novel that explores the attempted assassination of Bob Marley in the late 1970s, from the author of Black Leopard, Red Wolf In A Brief History of Seven Killings, Marlon James combines brilliant storytelling with his unrivaled skills of characterization and meticulous eye for detail to forge an enthralling novel of dazzling ambition and scope. On December 3, 1976, just before the Jamaican general election and two days before Bob Marley was to play the Smile Jamaica Concert to ease political tensions in Kingston, seven gunmen stormed the singer’s house, machine guns blazing. The attack wounded Marley, his wife, and his manager, and injured several others. Little was officially released about the gunmen, but much has been whispered, gossiped and sung about in the streets of West Kingston. Rumors abound regarding the assassins’ fates, and there are suspicions that the attack was politically motivated. A Brief History of Seven Killings delves deep into that dangerous and unstable time in Jamaica’s history and beyond. James deftly chronicles the lives of a host of unforgettable characters – gunmen, drug dealers, one-night stands, CIA agents, even ghosts – over the course of thirty years as they roam the streets of 1970s Kingston, dominate the crack houses of 1980s New York, and ultimately reemerge into the radically altered Jamaica of the 1990s. Along the way, they learn that evil does indeed cast long shadows, that justice and retribution are inextricably linked, and that no one can truly escape his fate. Gripping and inventive, shocking and irresistible, A Brief History of Seven Killings is a mesmerizing modern classic of power, mystery, and insight.

"In 1844, an eighteen-year-old German named Karl Stockhausen disembarked at the sugar port of Falmouth in Jamaica with hopes of success in the New World. A few years earlier and only slightly older, the young journalist James Otway Clerk arrived in Jamaica from Scotland. These men and their descendants would see great changes sweep the island as it struggled with the legacies of the slave economy and moved towards independence Far from the fantasy world of luxurious plantations and colonial mansions, The Last Colonials gives a rare insight into the lives of the Stockhausen and Clerk families and of their white Jamaican descendants. Set against the historical background of post-slavery Jamaica, Peta Gay Jensen's lively narrative recounts her family's history from their arrival as late settlers, their initial success in adapting through rapid commitment to their new country, and the challenges they faced when attempting to integrate fully into Jamaican culture. Jensen tells of the issues confronting the Stockhausens as they started their own plantation, and the early days of the Clerk family's life in Kingston. With the collapse of the plantation economy, the Stockhausen young people moved to Kingston to live with the Clerks - close family friends - making it almost inevitable that the two families would merge. Through four generations we follow their fortunes and their efforts to explore and help preserve Jamaica's then little valued African heritage. With wit and verve, Jensen paints a colourful picture of her pioneering relatives and daily life in her family's country home at the beginning of the last century, and her own memories of trips to the market, Christmas day, hurricanes and earthquakes. A vivid portrait of Jamaica after the abolition of slavery, The Last Colonials gives a unique insight into imperialism in the New World and the complexity of a colonial society struggling towards its independence."--Bloomsbury publishing.
