Sinopse

London, 1912. A city cloaked in fog and secrets, where the clamor for women's suffrage clashes with the hushed whispers of the unseen.  Lydia Harrington, a medium ostracized by her aristocratic family, navigates the spectral realm, her gift a bridge to the whispers of the departed. Georgiana Morel, a suffragette haunted by her mother's unsolved murder, seeks answers in the world of the living, her spirit ablaze with righteous fury.Their paths intertwine not in a dimly lit séance room, but amidst the vibrant chaos of a suffragette rally.  Georgiana, her voice raw with passion, recognizes a kindred spirit in Lydia, a fellow outcast. Lydia, drawn to Georgiana's fiery conviction, senses the spectral presence of Emmeline Morel, Georgiana's mother, a beacon of the movement silenced by a shadowy hand.  Bound by a shared desire for justice, they embark on a perilous quest to uncover the truth. Their initial séance takes place in the hushed attic of a radical bookshop, a sanctuary of progressive thought.  Emmeline’s spectral voice, fragmented and faint, offers a cryptic riddle: "The Raven's Eye holds the truth."This enigma plunges them into London's underbelly, a labyrinth of hidden agendas and whispered secrets. They decode messages woven into suffragette banners, each stitch a piece of a dangerous puzzle.  The Raven's Eye, they discover, is not a mystical artifact but a clandestine gentlemen's club, a nexus of power where politicians and spies trade secrets beneath a veneer of respectability.  Lydia's abilities intensify, granting her visceral flashes of Emmeline’s final moments, chilling echoes of fear and betrayal. As they navigate this treacherous landscape, their bond deepens, a forbidden love blossoming amidst the tumult.  Georgiana finds solace in Lydia’s quiet strength, a harbor in the storm. Lydia discovers purpose in Georgiana’s unwavering fight, her spectral gift finding a tangible anchor in the living world.A cast of characters, each with their own veiled motives, weaves through their lives. Justin Pope, a jaded journalist seeking redemption.  Sherri Mason, a shrewd businesswoman whose progressive tea rooms mask a network of information. Daniel Shea, a government official whose outward support of women's rights belies a chilling agenda. Friend or foe? The line blurs with every encounter.  The deeper they delve, the more sinister the conspiracy becomes, its tendrils reaching the highest echelons of power, threatening to crush the burgeoning suffragette movement.The masked ball at the Raven’s Eye, a destination in their quest, transforms into a perilous trap.  Lydia’s powers surge, allowing her to manipulate spectral energy, sowing chaos among the conspirators.  The true antagonist emerges, a figure hiding in plain sight, their betrayal fueled by a twisted devotion to preserving the old order.  The climax hinges on a heart-wrenching choice: expose the truth and risk annihilation or protect their love and allow injustice to prevail. Emmeline’s final message, a fragmented memory touched by Lydia, reveals a hidden truth about Georgiana’s ancestry, adding another layer of complexity to their fight.Beneath a whispering sky, heavy with secrets and spectral echoes, their intertwined destinies—and the future of a nation—hang precariously in the balance. The choices they make in the swirling shadows of conspiracy and the burgeoning light of their love will determine not only their fate but the fate of the very ideals they fight to protect. A tale of forbidden love, spectral whispers, and a fight for justice that will echo through time.

    From the New York Times–bestselling author of The Forever Year, a “poignant” novel about best friends in crisis (Long and Short Reviews). Rich Flaster and Eric Dazman—aka Flash and Dazzle—have been friends since their college days, and they remain as tight as ever as their work starts attracting praise and attention in the advertising industry. Now Rich is being wooed by a high-profile agency in downtown Manhattan—but they have no interest in hiring his creative partner. Before Rich can bring himself to tell his best friend about the job offer, Eric receives a far more devastating piece of news: an upsetting medical diagnosis. His shy, beautiful sister arrives to give him support, and Rich is faced with an emotional challenge. He’s deceived his friend—however, there are a lot of things Eric hasn’t shared with him either. Suddenly, breaking up this two-man team takes on a more painful meaning—and, with time a precious commodity, Flash and Dazzle have to get past the superficial and connect on a deeper level.Flash and Dazzle is a story of men who have known the best of times as they come to grips with the worst of times, and of the friends and lovers who enter their orbit in relationships both brief and enduring. It is a story of legacies, burdens, and the kinds of secrets that are only revealed when there’s nothing left to tell. Funny, moving, and honest, it will inspire you to call everyone you care about and thank them for what they’ve given you. “A master storyteller. . . . He stirs emotions and senses that bring tears and laughter.” —Long and Short Reviews “A dynamic contemporary novel . . . fully engaging and worthwhile reading. Lou Aronica is a talented writer who uses subtlety rather than explicit description to depict the normalcy, quirkiness and fluctuations of honest characters.” —Crystal Book Reviews “Rich Flaster and Eric Dazman are so real; the reader will feel like they are part of the duo’s close knit friends.” —Literarily Illumined
