The Prodigy
Rolf Geiger, a virtuoso young pianist haunted by the malevolent, envious ghost of his recently dead master and teacher, prepares for a world tour that, if successful, will crown him the greatest pianist who ever lived. In the ensuing battle with his dark angel, Rolf is plagued by sleeplessness, terrifying visions, and destructive impulses that threaten his sanity, love life, and very soul. Throughout this turmoil, his beautiful, intelligent girlfriend, Diana, remains loyally supportive. Compelling writing doesn't make an improbable plot with several loose ends any easier to swallow. The author, known for espionage and stories of the occult (e.g., Rage of Spirits, LJ 2/1/97), may find an audience in fans of the supernatural. Recommended for large fiction collections.?Sheila M.
