Lord of Illusions

Description

Thirteen years ago, cultist Philip Swan murdered his group's leader, an evil prophet named Nix who possessed unparalleled skills in black magic. Then he hid the body — very well. Now a successful magician in his own right, Swann finds himself stalked by Nix's followers, who want Nix's corpse so they can bring it back to life. Swann's wife Dorothea, aware of the dangers facing her husband, hires hard-boiled detective Harry D'Amour to watch over Philip. Soon D'Amour becomes deeply embroiled in the dark, unstable world of the supernatural, where nefarious illusionists, strange conjurings, creepy cultists, and the mysterious Mrs. Swann all turn his life into a living nightmare.
