One prestigious horse race. Three impossible crimes.
When a woman dashes out in front of the horses at one of the most prestigious racecourses in the country, she leaves three heart-stopping impossible mysteries in her wake. Before the dust settles, the woman disappears into thin air, a priceless tiara is stolen from a sealed balcony, and a champion racehorse, Hat Trick, vanishes into a solid brick wall.
Journalist-turned-investigator Clare Deyes and forensic illusionist Mara Knight were only at the races for a well-earned day off. But as a high-profile police lockdown grips the showground, Clare and Mara are drawn into a baffling series of investigations, quickly realising that the three happenings they have witnessed share the unmistakable mechanics of stage magic.
Can they together solve the puzzle of this spectacular triple-vanishing and uncover the truth... before its mastermind pulls off the ultimate finale?
