The amazing discovery of a posthumous novel by Louis Golding so long after his death is the more exciting and surprising because his appeal has in no way diminished with the years - his writing is as lively today as it ever was. This last novel of his explores the mind of a man spasmodically stricken with the gift of prophecy. After several varying experiences with the Talent, as he has come to think of it - some disturbing, some lucrative - Jeremy finds himself embroiled unwillingly in a murder trial, the outcome of which he has foreseen. His struggle to head off what he thinks of as destiny leads, however, to a final crisis. This remarkable novel has something of the disturbing quality that is associated with every good book in which supernatural forces play their part, and Louis Golding handles his characters and their perplexing situations with a mastery for which he will long be remembered. . First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
