He hasnât got the magic touch, so heâs an outsiderâthe straight kid in a crooked familyâas long as you ignore one small detail: He killed his best friend, Lila. Now he is sleepwalking, propelled into the night by terrifying dreams about a white cat. He also notices that his brothers are keeping secrets from him. As Cassel begins to suspect heâs part of one huge con game, he must unravel his past and his memories. To find out the truth, Cassel will have to outcon the conmen.
