Like the funambulist who's come to the end of his rope, magician Harry Colderwood wondered what to do next. He had no job, no money, and no desire to get mixed up in murder. The client who hired Harry to find out who was scaring him with spooky visitations had just taken a swan dive onto concrete from four floors up. Now, somebody wanted Harry to leave town fast or, with the next abracadabra, his famous disappearing act would become a fatal finale. But an enchanting offer from a blue-eyed blonde reporter has Harry convinced to stick around until he can pull a killer out of the hat ... and uncover the secrets that began with love's illusions and ended with bloody murder.
