A sparkling return to the Golden Age of Crime Fiction, where even the most fiendish of mysteries can be unlocked by a keen eye and a sharp mind...

1938, London. Ambitious lawyer Edmund Ibbs has got his teeth into the case of a lifetime â" defending the young woman accused of shooting her husband in the infamous âFerris Wheel Murderâ case. Despite a plethora of evidence against his client, Ibbs is certain he can secure her acquittal.

But after a night of magic and illusion at Londonâs Pomegranate Theatre, Ibbs finds himself behind bars, accused of a double murder. The renowned prestidigitator Professor Paolini and the operator of said notorious Ferris wheel are dead, and as far as Scotland Yardâs Inspector Flint is concerned, all signs point to the lawyerâs guilt.

Luckily for Ibbs, illusionist turned sleuth Joseph Spector also attended the theatre that night. Can Spectorâs eye for detail pierce the veil of deceit in a world of illusion and misdirection, where seeing is not always believing?
