The Illusionist Paperback - 1999
by Dinitia Smith
As a young woman disguised as a man, Duane Lily, an amateur magician, has created an illusion in a desolate New York town that ultimately unleashes a destructive element that even he cannot control.
First line
I first saw him one wild October night at the Wooden Nickel bar high up on the headland overlooking the river on Old Route 27.
From the rear cover
The Illusionist is the sensuous and haunting tale of Dean Lily, an amateur magician whose arrival in Sparta, New York, upsets the landscape of this small town on the wane. Dean, a master of the sleight of hand, is also a master of seduction and charm -- which becomes apparent as he woos and wins the hearts of more than one of Sparta's female citizens.
But the enigmatic newcomer has more to hide than the tricks of his trade -- his mysterious identity and his closely guarded privacy arouse suspicion and jealousy -- and while he cures Sparta of its midwinter ennui, he also unleashes a destructive force that rocks the foundations of this town to its core. Inspired in part by a true story, The Illusionist is a fiercely erotic novel that thwarts conventions of gender and love.
