Robin Lockwood joined the firm of legal legend Regina Barrister not long before Regina was forced into retirement by early onset Alzheimer's. One of Regina's former clients, Robert Chesterfield, shows up in the law office with an odd request-- he's seeking help from his old attorney in acquiring patent protection for an illusion. Chesterfield is a professional magician and he has a major new trick he's about to debut. When Lockwood looks into his previous relationship with the firm, she learns that twenty years ago Chesterfield was arrested for two murders, one attempted murder, and was involved in the potentially suspicious death of his very rich wife. As he performs the debut of the Chamber of Death, Chesterfield is murders-- with dozens of witnesses and no one the wiser. -- adapted from jacket.
