Diego, a seventeen-year-old illegal Mexican immigrant, owes his salvation to master grifter Thomas Schell. Together with Schell's gruff and powerful partner, they sail comfortably through hard times, scamming New York 's grieving rich with elaborate, ingeniously staged séances - until an impossible occurrence changes everything. A compelling mystery and evocative portrait of Depression-era New York , the novel is a literary adventure. |
