In this modern take on the Golden Age detective novel, a retired stage magician-turned-sleuth in 1930s London solves three impossible crimes surrounding the death of a famous psychologist. The first novel from celebrated short story author Tom Mead, Death and the Conjuror will appeal to readers of classic mystery authors such as Agatha Christie and John Dickson Carr, or of contemporaries like Anthony Horowitz and Elly Griffiths.
