DESCRIPTION :
Death and the Conjuror, a throwback to the traditional golden-age whodunit, when crime fiction was a battle of wits between writer and reader, combines a horrific mood, period detail, and vividly drawn characters with a beautifully built fair play conundrum. Its perplexing plot will captivate fans of Agatha Christie and John Dickson Carr, as well as current masters like Anthony Horowitz and Elly Griffiths, or anybody who enjoys a good mystery.
