Paul Galliard is a magician by training and heredity: his father died performing the Bullet Catch, an infamous trick that over the centuries has claimed the lives of more than a dozen magicians. A pragmatist, Paul confines his conjuring to commercials; he shows up often on TV screens, demonstrating the magical power of some brand of household cleanser. Then he gets a call.

Paul would like to give them a last shot at the limelight, but there's a catch?a Bullet Catch, to be precise. Either Paul does the trick that killed his father, or the show doesn't go on.

As an amateur magician I really enjoyed this book. The crimes and murders were intriguing and it kept my interest right up through the last chapter. The references to magic and magicians are authentic and my research found, as I suspected, that the author was also a magician. In fact, many of his patter lines should end up in my routines
Anyone not a magician would also get wrapped up in the tale and enjoy it!.
