Description
The Prestige by Christopher Priest A bitter feud between two 19th century stage illusionists drives a deadly game of secrets and curiosity. Working in the gaslight-and-velvet world of Victorian music halls, Rupert Angier and Alfred Borden engage in a shadowy dance, each hiding something more sinister than just the workings of their tricks. The secret behind their amazing illusions is simple, yet to the antagonists, the real mystery lies deeper. Obsessive secrecy and insatiable curiosity push both men to extremes, fueling a century-long cycle of rivalry and deception. As the effects of their feud continue to resonate, the reader is left to unravel the truth behind these two performers' deadly obsession with illusion.
