My name is Ernest Cunningham.
I’m not a detective. I just happen to have a knack for what makes mysteries tick. I’d hoped, this Christmas, that any self-respecting murderer would kick their feet up and take it easy over the holidays.
I was wrong.
So here I am, backstage at the Christmas show of world-famous magician Rylan Blaze, whose benefactor has just been murdered. From the magician’s assistant to the hypnotist, my suspects are all professional tricksters. Masters in the art of misdirection.
Solving the murder is the only gift I want this year. But can I catch a killer, and make it home for Christmas alive?
