Maggiori informazioni sul libro
Fletcher Brandon, a professional magician known as "Red," meets Rosa in an Oxford pub, where he impresses and seduces her with a successfully performed trick. But their relationship ends tragically a year later when Rosa dies in a freak accident. A police investigation into her death triggers Red's own search through Rosa's past--through parental loss, abuse, addiction, and clandestine loyalties--where he finds himself to be an outsider in his lover's secret history. Red must convince himself that Rosa really has died--that her disappearance is not merely a final deception--but, ultimately, Red's search will be a revelation not only of reality, but of illusion as well: of the illusions in Rosa's life before he knew her, in their life together, and in what appears to be her afterlife
