Dave Lewis is a magician. He knows the secrets that lie behind the tricks and illusions and spends his time publishing a magazine de-bunking spiritualists and other charlatans who con the public. It’s an endeavour rooted in his own experience: after the murder of his brother, Dave watched his parents scrabble for comfort and meaning in the company of frauds and mediums. Detective Sam Currie is haunted by his failure to prevent his son Neil’s death and tries to redeem himself through his work. A serial killer is abducting young women and sending texts and emails from them to their friends and families while the victims are tied up and slowly die of thirst. When Currie discovers that Dave Lewis is linked both to the women and to those instrumental in Neil’s death, he is determined to hunt him down. There is always a fresh, original slant to Mosby’s writing. Excellent at capturing contemporary lifestyles and concerns, this is engaging story-telling delivered with panache and assurance.
