Kevin’s father is a bookie and his mother takes in lodgers on the city’s impoverished northside. Gerald, a lawyer’s son, is afforded a more well-heeled upbringing. Yet they share a growing awareness of each other through episodes of mistaken identity. At first, innocent enough—one approached by the other’s confused girlfriend, or being called out to in the street.   But Kevin is unnerved by more than a doppelganger. He lives next door to the one-time home of Bram Stoker. And the shadows of the author’s evil creation, as well as those cast by a lookalike stranger, stretch far across his early years. It’s only when a tragic death sends both young men down a darker path, that Kevin and Gerald are destined to meet.     \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA “beautifully enigmatic . . . darkly luminous” (\u003ci\u003eThe New York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e) thriller, \u003ci\u003eMistaken\u003c\/i\u003e is also “the best novel I’ve read about Dublin in years” (\u003ci\u003eThe Independent\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003cb\u003eNeil Jordan\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of several critically-acclaimed novels including \u003ci\u003eMistaken\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Dream of a Beast\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSunrise with Sea Monster\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eShade\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eNight in Tunisia\u003c\/i\u003e, a collection of short stories which won the Guardian Fiction Prize.
