Detective Lawrence Stone thinks highly of his gut feel ‒ and it's telling him that the magician, Romond the Magnificent, is a thief.

But no-one believes his theory, not even his own partner, Detective Trevor Stewart.

Stone needs evidence to make an arrest, and unsuspecting Krysta Nevvar could hold the key to more than she realises.
