Description

A dark mystery about books, writing and creation that will be enjoyed by readers who loved The Shadow of the Wind, The Book Thief and Misery

Edgar Johnson’s world is changing. At home, the manuscripts of his rejected novels rustle and whisper that he’s a failure, while out in the park a young woman seeks his help with a problem only he can solve. Too late, Edgar learns that no good deed goes unpunished—and that the price of failure might be his soul.

Meanwhile, Jacqueline Moran, errant daughter of a fading seventies superstar, checks herself into an exclusive mental health clinic, where her life will be changed forever. And, between the two, Richie Richards – a medium for the millennials, whose performances blur the line between illusion and the afterlife and challenge our understanding of reality.

As Edgar and Moran take their separate journeys to a collision with fate, they find their stories are bound together in a way neither could have imagined.
