But raising two boys and keeping track of her ornery magician grandfather is tricky business. . .especially when you add murder to the mix. . ..Knocking down the wall between Samantha Shaws dating service, Heart Mates, and her boyfriend Gabe Pulizzis P.I. office seemed like a good idea. The construction dust is causing chaos, but the real trouble is how Sams going to handle her two sons, her grandfather, her business, and training for her P.I. license--and squeeze in a relationship with Gabe at the same time.She hasnt even begun to figure it out when her grandfather, Barney Webb, winds up in trouble of his own--hes been accused by arrogant magician Shane Masters of hiring a hit man to kill him. Sam knows it cant be true, despite Shanes practice of exposing other illusionists secrets in a series of popular spoiler shows. Proving Grandpas innocence is priority number one, even though the old man is strangely resistant to her offers to get to the bottom of Shanes accusation.Then Grandpas protégé Fletch Knight shows up in Lake Elsinore, asking Barney to help him videotape backdrops for his upcoming performance at the House of Magic. Sam thinks Barney should be focusing on clearing his name, but she doesnt have much time to push the issue since shes just landed a new case--discovering which magicians secrets Shane will expose for Shanes ex, Nikki Eden, whose high-concept illusions depend on secrecy.With another of Grandpas former students in town, and Gabes troubled brother arriving unexpectedly, Sam is up to her ears in sleight of hand and whispered secrets when Shane Masters murdered body suddenly appears. Detective Logan Vance, Sams police connection, is furious that shes withheld information. With so many balls in the air, Sam is tempted to throw in the towel and take up juggling, but finding a killer comes first. Theres no shortage of suspects, but with Sams own life at stake--again!--figuring out whodunit is going to be the most spectacular trick of all. . .
