Description 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 murd.
