Mystery
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.
