Synopsis: A street magician needs more than sleight-of-hand to survive in this dark, edgy crime thriller . . . After years of chasing fame and hedonistic excess in the bright lights of Las Vegas, Rusty &“The Raven&” Diamond has returned home to Ocean City, Maryland, to piece his life back together. When he finds himself an innocent suspect in his landlord&’s brutal murder, Rusty abandons all hope of maintaining a tranquil existence. Acting on impulse, he digs into the investigation just enough to anger both the police and a local drug cartel. As the case grows more complex, claiming new victims and inciting widespread panic, Rusty feels galvanized by the adrenaline he&’s been missing for too long. But his newfound excitement threatens to become an addiction, leading him headfirst into an underworld he&’s been desperately trying to escape . . . This is the first in the series featuring an illusionist-turned-sleuth by the author of The Platinum Loop, which was praised by Publishers Weekly as &“pulp fun at its best.&”
