Jess Walter - Beautiful Ruins

Walter, one of the most innovative new authors writing today, crafts a masterful novel that spans the globe.  In 1962 a young man is visited by a dying starlet as he lays day-dreaming on the shore of the Legurian Sea.  Decades later he searches for the truth behind her appearance, a search that will take him to Edinburgh and beyond, and into the ranks of a number of strange characters.
