Krátky popis
Now retired from the tour circuit on which he made his name, master
magician The Great Merlini spends his days running a magic shop in
New York's Times Square and his nights moonlighting as a consultant
for the NYPD. The cops call him when faced with crimes so
impossible that they can only be comprehended by a magician's mind.
In the most recent case, two occultists are discovered dead in
locked rooms, one spread out on a pentagram, both appearing to have
been murdered under similar circumstances. The list of suspects
includes an escape artist, a professional medium, and a
ventriloquist, so it's clear that the crimes took place in a realm
that Merlini knows well. But in the end it will take his logical
skills, and not his magical ones, to apprehend the killer.Reprinted
for the first time in over twenty years, Death from a Top Hat is an
ingeniously-plotted puzzle set in the world of New York stage
magic, which was at its pinnacle in the early twentieth century. In
1981, the novel was selected as one of the top ten locked room
mysteries of all time by a panel of mystery-world luminaries that
included Julian Symons, Edward D. Hoch, Ellery Queen's co-creator
Frederic Dannay, and Otto Penzler.
