At the birth of the Jazz Age in San Francisco, the magician Charles Carter walks onto the stage of the Curran Theatre
for the most daring performance of his life.Two hours later, President Warren G. Harding will be dead.The mysterious death of President Harding in 1923 is only the curtain raiser to this extraordinary novel of magic and science.Charles Carter is Carter the Great, a name given to him by the supreme showman, Harry Houdini.
Carter was born into privilege but became a magician out of need:only at the moment of performance, when an audience is brought together by a single experience, can Carter defeat his crippling fear of loneliness.But with every step into the twentieth century, the stakes are growing higher.Science and the cinema are fast outstripping even the master magician and instead of that single magic moment, there
is only a headlong rush into an uncertain future.Author's debut novel.
