Summary

‘Three Faces’ artfully brings to life Aphra Behn, the first Englishwoman to make her living as a professional writer. How did the daughter of a Kentish barber and a wet nurse come to rub shoulders with the highest in the land and be buried in Westminster Abbey as a celebrated poet, playwright and novelist? It is 16 April 1689. Aphra Behn is dying. She looks back on a life requiring her to hide her background, her feelings and her loyalties, showing different faces to different people. On His Majesty’s secret service, she has travelled widely on the Continent and to the American colonies, later condemning the iniquities of the slave trade in one of the earliest novellas in English. Her life has been marked by civil war, the execution of a king, the short-lived English republic and the heavy hand of Puritan preachers, the licentiousness of the Restoration, the Plague, the Great Fire of London, the Anglo-Dutch Wars and the Glorious Revolution.

    Many lives collide in this quest to win a billion dollars for picking all the winners in the annual National Collegiate Athletic Association basketball tournament. Some are looking for riches, others for simple survival and personal redemption.

Mathematician Sinclair Dane sponsors the contest, seeking money for a safety net for her troubled mother. She does not have a billion dollars to pay a winner. Risking her reputation and possible legal charges for fraud, she pins her hopes on the astronomical odds against anyone picking all the winners.

Math professor Lewis Cusac uses the basketball contest to teach remedial math to college students, two of whom are playing in the tournament. He enters the contest and finds himself having selected all the winners with only three games remaining. He also gets a call from the NCAA investigators for suspicion of trying to fix the outcomes of games.

Add to the mix a retired casino operator, a group of twenty-something social media wizards, and professional basketball's next megastar.

As the contest goes global, the story races to an ending that will surprise the reader.
