Loved it.” Tanya Landman, author of Buffalo SoldierNot cool enough, not clever enough, not street enough for anyone to notice me.

I was the kid people looked straight through. NOT ANY MORE. NOT SINCE MR ORANGE. Sixteen-year-old Marlon has made his mum a promise – he’ll never follow his big brother, Andre, down the wrong path.

So far, it’s been easy, but when a date ends in tragedy, Marlon finds himself hunted.

They’re after the mysterious Mr Orange, and they’re going to use Marlon to get to him.

Marlon’s out of choices – can he become the person he never wanted to be, to protect everyone he loves?
