One day Arthur Conan Doyle will create the greatest detective of all --
Sherlock Holmes. But right now Artie Conan Doyle is a twelve-year-old
Edinburgh schoolboy with a mystery of his own to solve.
Artie and his friend Ham are hired to investigate a series of suspicious
accidents that have befallen world-famous magician, the Great Wizard of
the North. It seems someone is determined to sabotage his spectacular
new illusion.
When the huge mechanical dragon created for the show vanishes, the theft
appears to be completely impossible. Artie must reveal the trick and
unmask the villain or face the deadly consequences.
The cards have been dealt, the spell has been cast, and the game is
afoot once more!
Robert J. Harris, author of The World's Gone Loki series and Will
Shakespeare and the Pirate's Fire, brings the young Conan Doyle to life
in the second book of this ingenious new detective series.
