I used to be a fan of reading Golden Age murder mysteries, until I found myself with a haphazard career getting stuck in the middle of real-life ones. I'd hoped, this Christmas, that any self-respecting murderer would kick their feet up and take it easy over the holidays. I was wrong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSo here I am, backstage at the show of world-famous magician Rylan Blaze, whose benefactor has just been murdered. My suspects are all professional tricksters—masters of the art of misdirection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTHE MAGICIAN\u003cbr\u003e THE ASSISTANT\u003cbr\u003e THE EXECUTIVE\u003cbr\u003e THE HYPNOTIST\u003cbr\u003e THE TWIN\u003cbr\u003e THE COUNSELLOR\u003cbr\u003e THE STAGEHAND\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMy clues are even more abstract—A suspect covered in blood, without a memory of how it got there; A murder committed without setting foot inside the room where it happens; And an advent calendar.
