'A rollicking combination of art and archaeology, forgeries, drug deals, and tourists, Montezuma, murder, and love. Dancing with the Tiger is smart, sexy, and extremely suspenseful. Block out some time - once you start, you won't be putting it down' Karen Joy Fowler, author of We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves and The Jane Austen Book Club

NAMED AS AN EDGAR AWARDS FINALIST 2017: BEST FIRST NOVEL

The death mask of Montezuma. A priceless artefact.

Lost. Looted. Sold. Stolen. Traded. Hunted. Wanted. Needed.

Anna has just discovered her father's credibility as a renowned art collector is in ruins and her own reputation as a fact checker is in tatters.

But she has a chance to redeem herself, to restore both her and her father. She needs to go to Mexico, find the mask, and bring it to America where it will form the focal point of a new exhibition.

But other people want that mask - and they will stop at nothing to get it.

Lili Wright's exuberant, energetic, exciting debut takes us into a world of heat, colour and danger, where to survive Anna must negotiate with criminals, flatter the powerful and take her life in her hands.
