Opis

After dropping his university studies in physics, Vincent Tremons decides to look for a day job. Naturally inquisitive, he wanders through various forms of employment, often yielding to fantasy rather than reality.
Vincent lands a job at a restoration studio where he meets Alistair Askham, an eccentric master of art restoration. After a few years in Askam’s studio, and a pivotal event, Vincent begins to hear voices and is drawn into the identity of painter, Hieronymus Bosch.
Vincent is referred to the Abbott Clinic, specializing in mental disorders suffered by painters and others employed in the arts. There, he meets young and ambitious - Dr. Antonia Mittens - who soon discovers that Vincent has been harboring a secret. A crime committed at Askam's studio that drives him deeper into fantasy - and away from Antonia.

Antonia, tired and heartbroken, leaves the clinic and the mystery called Vincent Tremens - until she begins to receive mysterious letters from Vincent looking as though written in medieval times. What possible game could Vincent being playing with her now?
Did Vincent write to her from the past? What is the parallel between Vincent and the master painter, Hieronymus Bosch?
Most importantly, will he sweep Antonia into madness with him?
