This is a hugely entertaining crime novel, packed full of comedy. So it looks like Eli will have to find the real murderer to get himself off the hook… And when more psychics are bumped off, each being found with a King of Diamonds on them, it seems clear to Detective Hutton that Eli must be involved since this was the card he used in his Ambitious Card routine. The situation isn’t helped by the fact that the detective in charge of the case is Eli’s ex-wife’s new husband (still with me?) and there’s little love lost between the two men. When magician and skeptic* Eli Marks debunks the spiritualist act of Grey (‘ just Grey’) he is unknowingly setting himself up to be chief suspect when Grey turns up murdered.
