In the first installment in Andrew Mayne's sensational mystery series,
FBI agent Jessica Blackwood believes she has successfully left her
complicated life as a gifted magician behind her . . . until a killer
with seemingly supernatural powers puts her talents to the ultimate
test.
A mysterious hacker, who identifies himself only as "Warlock," brings
down the FBI's website and posts a code in its place. It hides the GPS
coordinates of a Michigan cemetery, where a dead girl is discovered
rising from the ground . . . as if she tried to crawl out of her own
grave.
Born into a dynasty of illusionists, Jessica Blackwood is destined to
become its next star--until she turns her back on her troubled family,
and her legacy, to begin a new life in law enforcement. But FBI
consultant Dr. Jeffrey Ailes's discovery of an old copy of Magician
Magazine will turn Jessica's carefully constructed world upside down.
Faced with a crime that appears beyond explanation, Ailes has nothing to
lose--and everything to gain--by taking a chance on an agent raised in a
world devoted to seemingly achieving the impossible.
The body in the cemetery is only the first in the Warlock's series of
dark miracles. Thrust into the media spotlight, with time ticking away
until the next crime, can Jessica confront her past to embrace her gifts
and stop a depraved killer?
If she can't, she may become his next victim.
