I didn’t want it to end’ PETER JAMES ’A beautiful magic trick in itself - wonderful’ DERREN BROWN ’I absolutely loved every twist, every turn, every blockbusting cliffhanger’ STEVEN MOFFAT Meet Louis Warlock. Man about town, denizen of Soho’s nightclubs and cabaret bars - and the most skilled magician of his time . . .

But after his talent for deception attracts the attention of the British secret service, Louis is thrown into the perilous world of espionage and finds himself sent across Europe with a dangerous mission to fulfil.

A highly entertaining, fiendishly clever thriller, The Warlock Effect offers a twist-filled, rollicking adventure - and a glimpse into the phenomenal mind of an extraordinary magician.

Exactly like some of the magic it describes, the odd sleight of hand or false deception wrapped around a terrific mystery.’ IAN MOORE ’Edge-of-your-seat stuff . . . Heartbreaking and uplifting in equal measure, The Warlock Effect is a fiendish mix of history, humour and horror’ SJ BENNETT ’A thrilling and ingenious work of wonder.
