About the Book
After an illusionist on stage saws into his assistant, Harry Houdini's wife hires Molly Murphy to be part investigator/part bodyguard and uncover whether NYC's masters of illusion are simply up to their tricks or if there truly is something much more treacherous going on.Book Synopsis
With wit, charm, and historical detail, multiple award winner Rhys Bowen makes early twentieth century New York come vividly to life in The Last Illusion.
Irish immigrant and PI Molly Murphy is thrilled to have a ticket to see the illusionists that are all the rage. Indeed, Harry Houdini himself has returned from Europe for a brief run on Broadway. But Houdini can't even take the stage when, to the crowd's shock, the opening act saws into his assistant--for real.

"Delightful ... As ever, Bowen does a splendid job of capturing the flavor of early twentieth-century New York." --Publishers Weekly on In a Gilded Cage "Molly is an indomitable creature.... The book bounces along in the hands of Ms. Bowen and her Molly, and there is no doubt that she will be back causing trouble." --Washington Times on In Dublin's Fair City "Readers will surely testify that Murphy has become one of their favorite characters.... This book is a keeper." --Tampa Tribune on In Dublin's Fair City "Its enjoyable charm and wit will appeal to a cross-section of mystery fans." --Baltimore Sun on Oh Danny BoyAbout the Author
