Club Deception

Trade Paperback

Claire Fredericksson is the beating heart of Club Deception, the world's premiere magician's society, and the real source of magic behind her philandering husband Jonathan's award-winning magic show, but her debilitating stage fright has kept her out of the limelight for twenty years. Now that her daughter's away at college, she's tired of the "happy marriage" act and ready to step out from behind the red velvet curtain.

Things are set into motion by the arrival of two new women to the closed group of magicians' wives -- Jessica, a young trophy wife with a secret, newly married to the dashing British illusionist Calum Clarke, and Kaimi, an art expert looking for the other half of long-lost Erdnase papers by posing as girlfriend to a professional pick-up artist. When a magician rivalry and a stolen routine erupt into murder, the women must uncover the truth and set things right for the men they love. With a cast of endurance experts, Vegas stage stars, close-up card handlers and a pick-up artist or two this glamorous novel weaves a tale of murder and fame, and many, many illusions.

Welcome to CLUB DECEPTION, where nothing is what it seems and love may be the most dangerous illusion of all.
