La novia de Houdini

In his grand return to novels, Juan José Rodríguez tells the story of how a thrill seeker comes to meet both the love of his life and his worst enemy on the same day. When the young hero witnesses a performance by a group of magicians, he decides to abandon everything to follow his new object of desire, the mysterious and beautiful Florissa: the only illusionist who can escape from Harry Houdini's arms—and the apprentice of Robert-Houdin himself, father of modern magic and inspiration to Houdini. But our hero must wager his life against impossible, invisible forces, for not all of the magicians in the group live within the law.

Juan José Rodríguez has won many literary awards in Mexico. He is the author of the short story collection Con sabor a limonero and the novels Asesinato en una lavandería china, La casa de las lobas, El gran invento del siglo XX, Mi nombre es Casablanca, and El náufrago del mar Amarillo.
