Shadow in the Mirror
Robert Aiello
Retired mentalist Grant Montgomery gets a phone call from an ex-girlfriend who tells him her father, who was Grant's mentor, has a terminal brain tumor. The old flame seems interested in igniting some new sparks with Grant, but her identical twin has schemes of her own. Add to this mix, a vengeful, sadistic gangster, who is determined to get back at Grant for having helped send him to prison and a body that shouldn't stay buried. Grant finds himself in struggles to be loyal to his old friends, faithful to his new love-and just to stay alive.
Review: "Robert Aiello's second novel of suspense is as sleek and mesmerizing a thriller as you are likely to read this year. An uncompromising page-turner, Shadow in the Mirror revisits the intriguing world of magic and mentalism with Mr. Aiello's principled, engaging hero Grant Montgomery... Deft misdirection, clever sleight of pen and a heart-pounding flourish make this a compelling read that will keep you up well past midnight. Robert Aiello's talent is no illusion. I was hooked from the very first page."
-Richard Montanari, author of The Violet Hour and Kiss of Evil
"...Robert Aiello spins a compelling yarn starring an attractive celebrity mentalist as the good guy and a luscious evil twin as the bad girl. Add in a sadistic gangster with an ice pick, several dashes of poison and macabre buried clue, and you have a fine read in a classic mode. I can't wait to see the movie!"
-Christine Andreae, author of Smoke Eaters and Grizzly
"You'll like Shadow in the Mirror, its suspense and complex plot, Grant Montgomery is a great character-empathetic, smart, and fun to read about."
-Barbara D'Amato, author of Good Cop, Bad Cop and Past President, Mystery Writers of America
