When paleontologist Kathryn Widd is called to the Kenyan wilderness
to investigate a set of hominid skull fragments, she little
suspects how profoundly the journey will change her life. As she
studies the ancient fossils, she becomes intrigued by the tale of a
1908 safari and the British nobleman who died mysteriously near the
site of her dig. The further she investigates, the more deeply she
is drawn into past lives and a world turned upside down by ancient,
mysterious forces of violence.David Lambkins darkly erotic novel
raises disturbing questions about love, jealousy, and cruelty
throughout history, exploring the ancient pull of sexual obsession.
With a style that conveys the intense heat and vivid landscape of
its African setting, The Hanging Tree sheds light on our deepest
instincts and fears.
