Description
Death from a Top Hat: A Great Merlini Mystery A master magician turned detective solves a mystifying murder in this ingeniously-plotted puzzle. When two occultists are discovered dead under similar circumstances, the NYPD calls upon The Great Merlini's unique skills to unravel the case. As a consultant for the NYPD and owner of a magic shop in New York's Times Square, Merlini is no stranger to the world of magic and mystery. However, it will take his logical skills rather than magical ones to apprehend the killer. With a list of suspects including an escape artist, a professional medium, and a ventriloquist, the case seems like a puzzle that can only be comprehended by a magician's mind. Reprinted for the first time in over twenty years, Death from a Top Hat is a gripping locked room mystery set in the world of New York stage magic at its pinnacle in the early twentieth century.
