This first book is set partly in prison, where Nicky Burkett tells his tale and reflects on life.It is part detective story, part thriller. Nicky Burkett finds his friend Vinnie dead at the bottom of a tower block. They have to find the villains - more serious criminals than themselves. The result is a hilarious hybrid of Elmore Leonard and Quentin Tarantino, with dialogue that crackles off the page, unforgettable characters and an authentic sense of place.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. From Ferdinand Dennis, the critically acclaimed author of the novel Duppy Conqueror, comes The Black and White Museum, a collection of both highly personal and universal short stories.

From the critically acclaimed author of Duppy Conqueror, comes his first collection of short stories. Stories which capture the Black experience in London, the yearning for home, the consequences of urban gentrification and of aging.
