Mark Billingham, the sucessful crime thriller author, whose latest novel, "In The Dark", has attracted some well deserved praise from critics all over the Globe, has referenced one of Dennis Brown's most popular songs "Wolves and Leopards".

The novel is set in present day London, "on a rainy night, shots are fired into a car which swerves on to the pavement and ploughs into a bus stop. It seems that an act of casual gang violence has cost an innocent victim teir life. But the reality is even more chilling..."

Theo, one of the main characters in the story puts on some music, Wolves and Leopards..."Theo didn't know if Dennis Brown was alive or dead, but he loved his voice, the way it made him feel..."

A good read, made even better if you have Dennis's music playing in the background!
