Slow to start, this book soon becomes a page turner. You will be as desperate as Professor Zimmer to find out what happened to silent film star Hector Mann. Auster's descriptions of his films are so detailed you will feel that you have seen them!

His blue DeSoto was parked in the garage; the lease on his property was good for another three months; the rent had been paid in full.
