The Dancing Face
A collection of rediscovered works celebrating Black Britain curated by Booker Prize-winner Bernardine Evaristo
By Mike Phillips
Introduction by Bernardine Evaristo
A sensational, original art heist thriller about the high stakes theft of a priceless African artefact and its dark consequences
University lecturer Gus knows that stealing the priceless Benin mask, The Dancing Face, from a museum at the heart of the British establishment will gain an avalanche of attention.
Which is exactly what he wants.
But such a risky theft will also inevitably capture the attention of characters with more money, more power, and fewer morals.
Naively entangling his loved ones in his increasingly dangerous pursuit of righteous reparation, is Gus prepared for what it will cost him?
