Synopsis
In his previous novel THE ZAHIR, Paulo Coelho addressed the premise of an obsessive former spouse within his characteristic mix of spirituality, reality, and the fantastic. His new novel covers similar ground, but ups the ante by changing the setting to one of the most fantastic real happenings on the planet, the Cannes International Film Festival. Igor Malev had everything a man could ever want, which was somehow not enough to keep his wife from leaving him for a celebrated fashion designer. He secretly pursues them to Cannes, and begins to enact a horrifying ritual in order to reclaim her. Amidst the false glitz and glamour of the film and fashion industries, people's real motivations are seldom made apparent. But when this exclusive society is threatened by this malevolent force, the masks and make-up begin to disintegrate, revealing the ugliness hidden underneath.

Industry Reviews
"[T]his scintillating parable about shallowness, greed and celebrity worship...unsparingly examines the Superclass, the elite's elite, whose member's dependence on luxury corrupts."
