Esther Diamond is a struggling actress who has been working
tables for the last four months. When she is offered a
role, she takes it; even though she is understudy to a woman
with a terrible singing voice and more fake body parts than
anyone should consider. When Golly Gee disappears during a
scene, the show is shut down for a while. Esther starts
receiving notes about not getting in the cage. When a
second and third person disappear during vanishing acts, she
gets really nervous.
The night of the play's reopening, Esther meets Max Zadoc
and they will start investigating the disappearances. With
that introduction, Esther will be drawn into a world which
she never would have believed existed. A world of true
magic. Max is a 350 year old magician with a familiar,
Nelli, a large dog.
Together, they will identify the magician who is responsible
for the disappearances and defeat the evil.
DISAPPEARING NIGHTLY is a re-issue of the first Esther
Diamond book. If you
haven't read it, run right out and buy it. Ms. Resnick
writes a fascinating story with elements of spooky, magic,
and humor which will keep your reading. I love these books!
I'm not a heroine -- I just play one. Also psychotics,
vamps, orphans, hookers, housewives and -- on one memorable
occasion -- a singing rutabaga. It was never my ambition to
utilize my extensive dramatic training by playing a musical
vegetable. However, as my agent is fond of pointing out,
there are more actors in New York than there are people in
most other cities. Translation: Beggars can't be choosers.
This explains how I wound up painting my body green and
prancing around stage half-naked the night Golly Gee, the
female lead in the off-broadway show "Sorcerer!" disappeared
into thin air. Literally. Now other performers are also
vanishing, and a mysterious stranger is warning me: There is
evil among us. But the producers want me to take over
Golly's part. Looks like I'm going to need a little magical
help if I want to keep my starring role . . .
