The world’s most famous escape artist must uncover why his master’s illusion went horribly wrong in this “charming” historical mystery series from an Edgar Award–winning author (New York Times)
 
In turn-of-the-century New York City, struggling young performer Harry Houdini is working for the renowned magician Kellar.
