Fletcher Brandon - nicknamed 'Red' - is a professional magician, and a good one.He has taught himself dexterity and ambidexterity; he has mastered the art of illusion.And he enjoys the thought that he has beguiled Rosa - dark hair,blue eyes,wicked combination - into falling for him.
Then one evening after a successful show in Bradford where he performed his great Zigzag illusion - two large blades apparently being thrust into the body of The Lovely Kim - Red is told that Rosa is dead; fallen bizarrely to her death from a train.Red is grief-stricken - but dumbstruck,too,because he has no idea what she was doing on a train leaving Oxford on a Friday afternoon when she should have been at work.The arrival through the post of an anonymous parcel containing a few of her belongings sets him off on a trail of investigation and discovery; into Rosa's past, but also into the nature of their relationship.
Red is a magician,a dealer in tricks and illusions; now he has to unscramble the real from the unreal in himself and in his life.
A vivid,sometimes shocking novel that
investigates eternally puzzling and painful questions about the nature of fidelity and betrayal.Author's third novel,his debut being 'Acts of Revision.'
