She's the most dangerous woman in America--according to the headlines. But in the flickering gaslight, truth is just another illusion.
A murdered man. A vanishing act. One night for a fugitive illusionist to tell her story--and for a small-town cop to decide if he believes her.
The Magician's Lie by Greer Macallister is a spellbinding historical mystery with psychological suspense and a fiercely unforgettable heroine. Perfect for fans of The Night Circus, Water for Elephants, and The Alice Network, this genre-bending novel invites readers behind the curtain, where secrets hide in plain sight and freedom may be the most dangerous illusion of all.
Arden, a brilliant performer accused of murder, recounts her life in a locked-room interrogation laced with secrets, betrayals, and survival. Set against the backdrop of early 1900s America, this atmospheric tale explores gender, truth, and the stories we tell to escape them.
