Description
A sensational thriller that explores the complex relationship between identity, sacrifice and possession. University lecturer Gus plans to steal the priceless Benin mask, The Dancing Face, from a museum at the heart of the British establishment, knowing it will draw attention and gain him notoriety. However, this daring heist will also attract characters with more power and fewer morals, putting his loved ones in increasing danger. As Gus becomes embroiled in his pursuit of righteous reparation, he must confront the consequences of his actions. Will his desire for attention and recognition be worth the cost to those around him? This gripping novel is a thought-provoking exploration of the devastating impact of ambition. Selected by Bernardine Evaristo, this book rediscovers and celebrates pioneering works depicting black Britain that shape our understanding of the nation.
