Mystery
Who is audacious enough to steal an antique box once owned by Harry Houdini? This collectorโs treasure, skillfully hidden in the local Magic Clubโa nightclub where magicians performโis not merely an old theatrical prop. It is the prize in a contest that promises to jump start a magicianโs career. At least thatโs what Taft and Lucas Finch hoped before their prized possession was stolen. Private investigator David Randall is already busy searching for socialite Sandy Olafโs missing diamond bracelet when he begins the search for Houdiniโs 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. Randallโs friend Camden is concerned with losing his voice, his girlfriend Kary insists on being a magicianโs assistant, and Camโs girlfriend Ellin has to deal with the overbearing Sheila Kirk, wife of a potential sponsor, who insists on hosting the Psychic Service Networkโs 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.
