Pandora's Box

Edición de la obra Pandora's box

"One dark night, Dr. Noah Close, a plastic surgeon, opens the door to find a beautiful woman aflame on his doorstep. She is without name or voice or past. Noah puts out the fire, nurses her to health, and makes her his wife. He calls her Pandora, and for a while, they live together contentedly.". "A year later Noah wakes in the middle of the night to find Pandora beside him in bed covered with blood. He goes to call for an ambulance, but when he returns, she has vanished. Her inexplicable disappearance catapults Noah out of his clinical, ordered existence into a life on the run and a stop-at-nothing search for answers.". "Pandora's uncertain past leaves Noah with little to go on. He begins his unorthodox investigation by honing the art of breaking and entering and then enlists the help of Venus - a private investigator with mystical visions and a strange habit of changing sexes. The pursuit takes the pair to the lush depravity of Las Vegas, where they meet Lazarus, a sculptor obsessed with the human form, who curiously mirrors the features and expressions of others on his own face.". "Seductive and chilling, Pandora's Box is an imaginative take on the myth of Pandora and the concept of beauty."--BOOK JACKET.
