Paul Auster's explosively suspenseful tale from the author of contemporary classic The New York Trilogy: 'a literary voice for the ages' (Guardian)'Six days ago, a man blew himself up by the side of a road in northern Wisconsin .

A novel, in which, one man's obsession with the mysterious life of a silent film star takes him on a journey into a shadow-world of lies, illusions, and unexpected love.

Presents stories that search for clues leading to remarkable coincidences in the universe, as the simple act of trailing a man, ultimately becomes a startling investigation of what it means to be human.

Set against the backdrop of the contested US election of 2000, this book tells the story of Nathan and Tom, an uncle and nephew double-act. One in remission from lung cancer, divorced, and estranged from his only daughter, the other hiding away from his once-promising academic career, and, indeed, from life in general.

A triology of three cleverly interconnected novels that exploit the elements of standard detective fiction.
