The fifth book in the Magic Men series, Now You See Them is a wild
mystery with detective Edgar Stephens and the magician Max Mephisto, as
they investigate a string of presumed kidnappings in the swinging
1960s.
The new decade is going well for Edgar Stephens and his good friend the
magician Max Mephisto. Edgar is happily married, with children, and
promoted to Superintendent. Max has found fame and stardom in America,
though is now back in England for a funeral, and a prospective movie
job. Edgar's new wife, though--former detective Emma--is restless and
frustrated at home, knowing she was the best detective on the team.
But when an investigation into a string of disappearing girls begins,
Emma sees her chance to get back in the action. She begins her own hunt,
determined to prove, once and for all that she's better than the boys.
Though she's not the only one working toward that goal--there's a new
woman on the force, and she's determined to make detective. When two
more girls go missing, both with ties to the group, the stakes climb
ever higher, and Max finds himself drawn into his own search.
Who will find the girls first? And will they get there in time?
