As Ramsay tells his story, it begins to seem that from boyhood, he has exerted a perhaps mystical, perhaps pernicious, influence on those around him. His apparently innocent involvement in such innocuous events as the throwing of a snowball or the teaching of card tricks to a small boy in the end prove neither innocent nor innocuous. Fifth Business stands alone as a remarkable story told by a rational man who discovers that the marvelous is only another aspect of the real.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Manticore\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAround a mysterious death is woven a glittering, fantastical, cunningly contrived trilogy of novels.
