The Magicians

Reality TV? Sounds like a piece of cake to Margot and Max-a guilty pleasure for viewers and a windfall to producers. What can be difficult about reality TV? But transported from the eerie confines of a seemingly haunted house in Los Angeles to the sun-drenched, volcanic beaches of Hawaii, the duo discovers that the images manipulated for television reality shows are no more real-and can be much more deadly-than the stories she and Max create for feature films. An early reader says: Kit Sloane's latest Margot O'Banion/Max Skull mystery showcases the author's considerable storytelling skills. The reader is taken on a suspenseful journey from Los Angeles to Hawaii, with Margot and Max seemingly pursued by faceless, nameless, and deadly stalkers. If you love a terrific and unique mystery, you don't want to miss this one. / John Hamilton Lewis, author of Samsara, Cry Havoc, and Basha
