Tonight in Samarkand
by Lorenzo Semple Jr, Jacques Deval
Synopsis
The mystifying adventure of circus magician and seer who foresees the death of the lady lion tamer.
She has three loves: a circus gadabout, a respectable rich man, and the magician.
She envisions her life with each of the first two, and in each instance foresees her death on the exact same day.
To avoid death, she marries the magician and moves to another land-only to find that she has run straight into the embraces of death itself, again on the same day.
