Soft cover. Condition: New. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Now retired from the tour circuit on which he made his name, master magician The Great Merlini spends his days running a magic shop in New York's Times Square and his nights moonlighting as a consultant for the NYPD. The cops call him when faced with crimes so impossible that they can only be comprehended by a magician's mind. In the most recent case, two occultists are discovered dead in locked rooms, one spread out on a pentagram, both appearing to have been murdered under similar circumstances. The list of suspects includes an escape artist, a professional medium, and a ventriloquist, so it's clear that the crimes took place in a realm that Merlini knows well. But in the end, it will take his logical skills, and not his magical ones, to apprehend the killer. Death From a Top Hat is an ingeniously plotted puzzle set in the world of New York stage magic at its pinnacle in the early twentieth century. Penzler Publishers, Softcover, 1st Edition, 1st Printing, 2018 THIS IS A BRAND NEW BOOK, ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED IN 1938.
