Clay Feet

After a decade of trying to get a statue of Mercury for her museum's antiquities department, Harper finally succeeds. But then the statue arrives—broken—and a spectacular forgery. Her boss—impressed—calls the statue the ultimate forgery.

Harper wonders if she, too, should appreciate the forgery—until the statue starts talking.

"‘Clay Feet' is…[filled with] clever dialogue and interesting questions about the intersection of the classical world with the modern."
