12-year-old Nate Fuller returns to solve another mystery alongside his famous mentor, Harry Houdini. In 1911 Manhattan, a prominent stockbroker is the victim of a gruesome murder just weeks before Christmas. Nate is shocked when his good friend Ace, who works for Houdini, is arrested as the Fifth Avenue Slasher. Both Nate and Houdini are sure that Ace has been framed, but the District Attorney, up for re-election and wanting to put closure on the case, is unwilling to see beyond the incriminating evidence. Nate and Houdini enter the seamy Bowery district to track down the clues that will exonerate their friend. Meanwhile, a younger cousin Nate never knew about is dropped off on the Fuller doorstep by her father, who is eager to head west to seek his fortune. While young Allie’s presence seems to be an unnecessary distraction through much of the story, she does play a part in the resolution. Lalicki’s research into the period and his extensive knowledge of Harry Houdini are evident. As with the past adventures, the coincidences stack up a little too neatly, but the rollicking action and tough-talking and colorful characters of the era are appealing. Purchase where the first two installments of the series are popular. ( )
