In the first installment in Andrew Mayne's sensational mystery series, FBI agent Jessica Blackwood believes she has successfully left her complicated life as a gifted magician behind her . . . until a killer with seemingly supernatural powers puts her talents to the ultimate test.

A mysterious hacker, who identifies himself only as "Warlock," brings down the FBI's website and posts a code in its place. It hides the GPS coordinates of a Michigan cemetery, where a dead girl is discovered rising from the ground . . . as if she tried to crawl out of her own grave.

Born into a dynasty of illusionists, Jessica Blackwood is destined to become its next starâ??until she turns her back on her troubled family, and her legacy, to begin a new life in law enforcement. But FBI consultant Dr. Jeffrey Ailes's discovery of an old copy of Magician Magazine will turn Jessica's carefully constructed world upside down. Faced with a crime that appears beyond explanation, Ailes has nothing to loseâ??and everything to gainâ??by taking a chance on an agent raised in a world devoted to seemingly achieving the impossible.

The body in the cemetery is only the first in the Warlock's series of dark miracles. Thrust into the media spotlight, with time ticking away until the next crime, can Jessica confront her past to embrace her gifts and stop a depraved killer?

If she can't, she may become his next vic… (más)

Cleverly plotted thriller using the author's knowledge of magic and illusions to the fore. ( )

The first shall be the last. I have read the other books in this series and they were excellent. Jessica, with her unique skill set, is a splendid protagonist. The crimes are complexly plotted, well-practiced, and brilliantly executed, providing unusual challenges for a final solution She is up to it, and the chase and resolution make for a compelling story.

This is a hard one to review. Half the story is logical, real, makes sense... but, the other part is unbelievable. I could not believe even in fiction that half the stuff could have happened. I was hoping more for Jessica to use her skills to track a Ted Bundy type serial killer or the mob..something more realistic. I do give it a 4 for being entertaining and different. ( )

Illusion, or staging the scene is a large part of a magician's repertoire. As a former but still practicing magician, Jessica Blackwood is an interesting but underutilized asset for the FBI. Rescued from data analysis, an agency strength and priority, she welcomes the opportunity to join the search for "Warlock" Her, oft-questioned, insights provide a very different and interesting perspective for analyzing this criminal's activities.

Jessica is an interesting and likable protagonist for this first book in a new series. ( )
