From Emmy Award winning writer David Quantick, The Hyena is a surrealist alternate history novel full of twists and big hearts.

The Hyena is the story of Deborah Parkinson, the greatest artist you never heard of. Artist, lover, mother, friend-but never muse-Deborah is a woman whose story spans cities and continents, legends and geniuses.

From Paris to New York and from Kahlo to Dali, this is the story of a woman who didn't fit in... and liked it that way.
