Description: A novel that recreates the true story of Philippe Halsman, a photographer whose portraits of some of the greatest names of our times - Dali, Einstein and Monroe among them - ensured his enduring fame, but whose renown masked a shocking tragedy that haunted him throughout his life, and a remarkable journey from darkness into the light.
