Opis

One of Kirkus Reviews "Top 100" Indie Books of 2013 MADNESS, BLACKMAIL AND MURDER -- A beautiful graduate student suspects that her psychiatrist is ruled by the fantasies of a poet who's been dead for two hundred years... A mental patient with no musical training sits down at the piano and plays a fiendishly difficult piece of classical music... A young doctor's life spins out of control as he falls under the spell of three irresistible women... Art and illusion. Deception and delusion. Sex, evil and death. "A mind-bending marriage of ambitious literary theory and classic murder mystery.... In this intricately plotted novel, Hartman spins the familiar trappings of gothic mystery together with a fresh postmodern sensibility, producing a story that's as rich and satisfying as it is difficult to categorize.... As Hartman skillfully blurs the lines between fiction and reality, the book becomes a profound meditation on art, identity and their messy spheres of influence.... An exciting, original take on the literary mystery genre." - Kirkus Reviews. Awarded the Kirkus Star for Books of Exceptional Merit
