Newly single magician Eli Marks reluctantly attends his high school reunion against his better judgment, only to become entangled in two deadly encounters with his former classmates. The first is the fatal mugging of an old crush’s husband, followed by the suspicious deaths of the victim’s business associates.
At the same time, Eli also comes to the aid of a classmate-turned-movie-star who fears that attempting the Bullet Catch in an upcoming movie may be his last performance. As the bodies begin to pile up, Eli comes to the realization that juggling these murderous situations—while saving his own neck—may be the greatest trick he’s ever performed.
John Gaspard is the author of the popular Eli Marks mystery series, about a working magician who stumbles into murder cases. In real life, John’s not a magician, but he has directed several feature films that cost very little and made even less—and that’s no small trick. He’s also written multiple books on the subject of low-budget filmmaking. Ironically, they’ve made more than the films.
Jim Cunningham is an audiobook narrator who has lent his voice to the Graham’s Resolution series by A. R. Shaw and John Gaspard’s Eli Marks mysteries.
