Description

Brighton, 1950. A girl's body is found, cut into three, and Detective Inspector Edgar Stephens is reminded of a magic trick, the Zig Zag Girl. This gruesome discovery sets him on a path to uncover the truth, with the help of his old friend Max Mephisto, an inventor and performer who has seen better days. As the investigation unfolds, Edgar and Max are drawn back into their past, when they served together in a shadowy unit called the Magic Men. The case becomes increasingly complex, with each new discovery hinting at a sinister plot. A letter warning of another 'trick', the Wolf Trap, forces them to confront the killer's next move. With the bodies piling up, Edgar and Max must navigate a world of magic and deception to find the truth. Can they unravel the threads of a deadly game, or will they become the next victims of the killer's twisted tricks?
