Very disappointed in what sounded like an intriguing book. The idea of following a character as he searches for what may be the first motion picture, lost since the 1880's, was promising; and the parts about that search were interesting (despite the fact that the searcher was kind of a jerk.) But a parallel plot about a serial killer who abducts small girls was unpleasant and although I'm sure the two plots come together at some point, I won't know since I stopped reading about a third of the way through after more unpleasantness.
