THE MAGIC is his latest thriller—a clever, mystery-filled story that promises to captivate readers until the very last page. It all begins when Red, a professional magician, falls in love with Rosa, a strong-willed Irish girl. An expert in the art of illusion, Red delights in having tricked Rosa into returning his love. Accustomed to deceiving his audience nightly, he is surprised to realize he may have been tricked. After a successful performance, where he performed his signature Zigzag trick—in which two large blades are thrust into the body of his assistant, the beautiful Kim—he receives news of his beloved's death. The victim of a bizarre train crash on a day and in a place where she shouldn't have been, the tragedy leaves a series of unanswered questions. Was she pushed? Did she fall on her own? Did she commit suicide? The magician is devastated and perplexed, for not only does he have no idea what she was doing on a train leaving Oxford on a Friday afternoon when she should have been working, but he also realizes he knows nothing about his girlfriend's past. A mysterious package arrives to Red, seemingly containing the first clues as to what truly happened to Rosa. It is the starting point for an investigation that leads to surprising discoveries about the young woman's past and the nature of their relationship. His search takes him to Amsterdam, where he discovers more about himself than he ever knew about Rosa. As he unravels the truth, Red realizes he's in trouble he never could have foreseen, and to escape, he'll need much more than simple illusions. THE MAGIC is a vivid, sometimes shocking novel that explores the eternally enigmatic and painful questions of the nature of fidelity and betrayal.
