Opis

Who is audacious enough to steal an antique box once owned by Harry Houdini? This collector s treasure, skillfully hidden in the local Magic Club a nightclub where magicians perform is not merely an old theatrical prop. It is the prize in a contest that promises to jump start a magician s career. At least that s what Taft and Lucas Finch hoped before their prized possession was stolen. Private investigator David Randall is already busy searching for socialite Sandy Olaf s missing diamond bracelet when he begins the search for Houdini s box. But instead of finding the valuable box, Randall finds Taft murdered, his body locked in a backstage trunk. The magical world is brimming with jealous suspects, less successful magical competitors, romantic rivals, business conflicts, and festering hurts from long ago. Randall s friend Camden is concerned with losing his voice, his girlfriend Kary insists on being a magician s assistant, and Cam s girlfriend Ellin has to deal with the overbearing Sheila Kirk, wife of a potential sponsor, who insists on hosting the Psychic Service Network s programs.
Warned away from interfering in a police homicide investigation, Randall focuses on finding the box, searching for a missing diamond bracelet, and handling the crises embroiling his unique housemates in their rambling home on Grace Street. It will take a stroke of magic to connect the interlocking circles of these crimes."
