Alex Whitman is hired by an enigmatic collector to locate what could be the first movie ever made--\u003ci\u003eS ance Infernale\u003c\/i\u003e. Its creator, Augustin Sekuler, is considered by those in the know to be the true inventor of motion pictures--not the Lumi re brothers or Thomas Edison. In 1890, Sekular had boarded a Paris-bound train from Dijon, days before he was to present to the world his greatest new invention: a moving picture machine. But he never arrived at Gare de Lyon. He and his moving picture machine vanished, never to be heard from again. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e When Whitman tracks down what could be fragments of Sekuler's famously lost film, questions are raised--about Sekuler, about the fate of him and his invention, and about the film itself. And the stakes become ratcheted up as these riddles lead to a darker, far more dangerous mystery. At once riveting, atmospheric, and filled with vivid historical detail, \u003ci\u003eS ance Infernale\u003c\/i\u003e is a heart-pounding work of mystery and suspense.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJonathan Skariton was born in Athens, Greece, and attended the University of Edinburgh and the University of Wales, Bangor.
