Now You See Him

"A WORK OF LITERARY SUSPENSE....HYPNOTIC....A TRIUMPH." —Los Angeles Times

His name was Rob Castor. Quite possibly, you've heard of him. He became a minor cult celebrity in his mid-twenties for writing a book of darkly pitch-perfect stories set in a stupid sleepy upstate New York town. Several years later, he murdered his writer girlfriend, and then committed suicide....

With extraordinary luxuriant and evocative prose, award-winning author Eli Gottlieb takes us deep into the human psyche, where the most profound of secrets are kept. Now You See Him is a wrenching and enthrallingly suspenseful story that mines the explosive terrains of love and paternity, marriage and its delicate intricacies, family secrets and how they fester over time, and ultimately the true nature of loyalty, trust, friendship, envy, deception, and manipulation.

"A gorgeous surprising novel....A look at how the ties that bind us can also be our undoing." —USA Today

"A compelling tale of irrevocable acts, of loss that cannot be assuaged with lies or even with love." —Chicago Tribune
