Illusion
Frank PerettiPaperback 2012-09-21
Dane and Mandy Collins have a popular magic act. In their late fifties, they plan to retire, but their plans are devastated by a fiery car wreck. Dane awakens in a hospital and learns that Mandy is dead. As he reflects on how they first met at a magic show, we see 19-year-old Mandy in a flashback...Waiting to see a magic show, young Mandy falls asleep on a bench and abruptly awakes on the ground. She fell asleep in 1970; it is now 2010. She winds up in a mental hospital, diagnosed as a paranoid schizophrenic. Making her escape, she begins eking out a living by performing magic on the streets. Dane is transfixed by her baffling illusions - and emotionally devastated by this 19-year-old who is in every respect identical to the young beauty he married. Together they must decide their future ...and uncover the conspiracy behind their meeting, the strange supernatural bent to Mandy's magic, and who is following them.
