FBI Special Agent Jason West is supposed to be recovering from a near-fatal hit-and-run at the remote Wyoming home of Behavioral Analysis Unit chief Sam Kennedy. Instead, he’s pulled into a baffling case involving the theft of a priceless collection of vintage magic posters.

Then the collector turns up dead in a national forest.

The victim—an infamous magician known as the Kubla Khanjurer—made plenty of enemies exposing the closely guarded secrets of professional illusionists. Revenge seems obvious…until Jason uncovers a second suspicious death linked to an exclusive magic club.

Now Jason and Sam must navigate a secretive world of rival magicians, stolen art, and deadly misdirection—where nothing is what it seems and every trick hides a darker truth.
