Description
Is Barbara Warren a spoiled socialite, a multiple personality, or truly possessed by the soul of Leah Littman, a girl who died a hundred years ago in the Pale of Settlement? These are questions psychiatrist Harris Strider must answer as he plunges headlong into a world of mysticism, Kabbalah, and a mysterious figure known as the Magiker Rebbe. Finding himself falling in love with Leah Littman and failing to heed warnings that he has entered a world beyond science and reason, Strider faces the danger of losing his wife, his practice, and his sanity. A combination of Isaac Bashevis Singer, Stephen King, and Philip Roth, The Magiker will make you think twice about the possibilities of reincarnation—and a love beyond time. Charles Dennis lives in Los Angeles, this is his twelfth novel.
Advance Praise
"Charles Dennis has taken the psychological thriller and woven into it a time-travel story of history and ritual and the power of love to survive anything—including death. It is a brilliantly researched and wonderful read, especially if you're a romantic. As I am." —Julian Fellowes, creator of Downton Abbey
"Mysticism, romance, and humor are all between the covers of this new book by Charles Dennis. Not easy to accomplish all three at the same time, like juggling an apple, a banana, and a fretsaw, but he's done it." —Michael Lindsay-Hogg, author of Luck and Circumstance
"Oy, a sight to behold, le dernier cri! That's the story Charles Dennis has offered up to us. He pulls us deeper and deeper into the arcana of Jewish mysticism. With this plunge into the netherworld, Dennis gives us a fascinating story. And if you think you're alone out there, if you don't read this book, you will be." —Ed Asner, actor
"Charles Dennis is one of my favorite writers. The Magiker is partially his tribute to Elmore Leonard, with a healthy portion of Mr. Dennis's own sense of irony and, of course, his distinctive humor." —Dan Aykroyd, actor and author of Elwood's Blues.
