书籍介绍

In this self-published bestselling e-book by a real illusionist—the first thriller in a sensational series—now available in paperback, FBI agent Jessica Blackwood believes she has successfully left her complicated life as a gifted magician behind her . . . until a killer with seemingly supernatural powers puts her talents to the ultimate test.

A mysterious hacker, who identifies himself only as “Warlock,” brings down the FBI’s website and posts a code in its place. It hides the GPS coordinates of a Michigan cemetery, where a dead girl is discovered rising from the ground . . . as if she tried to crawl out of her own grave.

Born into a dynasty of illusionists, Jessica Blackwood is destined to become its next star—until she turns her back on her troubled family, and her legacy, to begin a new life in law enforcement. But FBI consultant Dr. Jeffrey Ailes’s discovery of an old copy of Magician Magazine will turn Jessica’s carefully constructed world upside down. Faced with a crime that appears beyond explanation, Ailes has nothing to lose—and everything to gain—by taking a chance on an agent raised in a world devoted to seemingly achieving the impossible.

The body in the cemetery is only the first in the Warlock’s series of dark miracles. Thrust into the media spotlight, with time ticking away until the next crime, can Jessica confront her past to embrace her gifts and stop a depraved killer?

If she can’t, she may become his next victim.

用户评论
日剧《圈套》的FBI版.不过出身魔术世家的女主这次面对的不是普通杀人犯,而是自称“男巫”的宗教型拥有超高智商的连环杀手,其所犯之罪均令人匪夷所思.三个案件,第一个案子是“死者转生从坟墓中挣扎而出”,这部分相当出色可让人一气看完;第二个案子则过于超现实几乎破坏了整部书的脉络和节奏,可谓败笔中的败笔.而第三个案子的不可能气氛是最浓厚的:帝国大厦高层之上,刚刚对着监控器挥手微笑的少女突然在一道闪光之后消失,而几秒钟之后她就以“天使”的形态从天而降坠落在纽约时代广场之中!这究竟是幻觉还是奇迹?以上看上去极为吸睛,但就像魔术一样,一旦知道了其中的秘密,读者多半会失望。本书结尾是开放式的,让人感觉没有完结且很多东西没有解释,也许要在续集中才能得到解答和延续. 4部系列作的首作,问题很多,不过还是建议阅读
虎头蛇尾了甚憾……本来可以成为一部神作,结果只成为了一个“确实还不错看”的故事,一边扼腕,一边又会忍不住想去看后续会发生什么。顺带,有全知全能的第三者这个设定没有得到合理解释犯规了!
