Best-selling author Iain Lawrence's adventures and mysteries for children and young adults are enormously popular selections. In the midst of the roaring '20s, Scooter, the son of a psychic, admires Harry Houdini. He can't wait to see Houdini perform his amazing new illusion. But backstage at the show, Scooter finds something that he wishes were merely an illusion: a dead body floating in Houdini's tank.
