The Book of Mirrors

New York literary agent Peter Katz gets a request to publish an autobiography titled “The Book of Mirrors.” Attached to the submission is the beginning of the manuscript: someone named Richard Flinn recalls his years studying at Princeton, his first love, and his work for the famous psychology professor Joseph Weider. These events from 25 years ago had a tragic ending, yet the criminal was never found or exposed. Now, Richard suddenly sees everything in a different light and reevaluates the role of his former beloved Laura Baines… but the manuscript ends mid-sentence. Intrigued, Peter tries to get the rest of “The Book of Mirrors,” but the manuscript turns out to be as elusive as the truth about what happened a quarter of a century ago…

“The Book of Mirrors” is a mystery novel in the spirit of Marisha Pessl’s “Night Film.” It’s a book about how imagination unconsciously replaces reality. It’s a book about the secret power of stories—those we tell, those we hide, and those for which we are willing to do anything to keep them secret.
