Nothing Disappears
A F I R S T N O V E L
by D. K. Smith
At the age of fifteen, shattered by the sudden death of his girlfriend Grace,
Charles Bentchley flees his Connecticut home and finds refuge with the
Magnificent Rudy, a magician who for the next seven years teaches Charles his
tricks—and
his tricks of the trade. Eventually Charles returns home to confront his loss of
Grace and his brother's role in it. In his pursuit of revenge Charles must come
to grips not only with his brother's betrayal, but with his own mistakes and
guilt. Through imagination and magic he finds his way beyond loss and anger
toward new love and redemption.
In this lucid, concise, and beautiful penetration of character, D. K.
Smith has written a synthesis of narrative and idea that never ceases to be a
superior entertainment as well.
