      è il 1926 e la fama di Harry Houdini è già leggenda: i teatri registrano il tutto esaurito a ogni replica dei suoi spettacoli in cui sfida la morte per incantare il pubblico. ma nel profondo della sua anima c'è un peso che viene dal passato. è il tarlo del rimorso e del senso di colpa, perché, tredici anni prima, Harry non era al capezzale della madre morente. ossessionato dal pensiero di quali siano state le ultime parole da lei pronunciate, Houdini è disposto a offrire diecimila dollari a chi sarà in grado di metterlo in comunicazione con l'aldilà. quando la voce di questa offerta giunge alle orecchie di Mary McGarvie e di sua figlia Benji, artiste di strada di Edimburgo, le due donne non perdono tempo e decidono di circuire con l'inganno il famoso prestigiatore. la bellezza e il fascino misterioso di Mary soggiogano Houdini, imprigionandolo in un'infatuazione che rischia di trasformarsi in un amore pericoloso, proprio quando il mago annuncia al mondo che si produrrà nella sfida più incredibile della sua carriera... un romanzo pieno di incanto, magia e suggestione, che ricrea tutto il fascino del film diretto da Gillian Armstrong e interpretato da Guy Pierce e Catherine Zeta-Jones.

      An original novel pitting Batman against the Court of Owls, a secret society of wealthy families that's controlled Gotham for centuries using murder and money. For generations, an apocryphal cabal has controlled Gotham from the shadows, wielding fear and violence through its undead assassins, the Talons. THE COURT OF OWLS. Dating back centuries, its leaders are men and women of wealth and influence who meet in secrecy, hiding their identities behind stark white masks. Employing science and alchemy, they sought to kill Bruce Wayne who, as Batman, dealt them their greatest defeats. Even then they faded back into the darkness, and he could not eliminate them entirely. Now, Gotham City is plagued with a series of brutal murders in which mutilated bodies are burned almost beyond recognition. Batman and his allies--including Nightwing and Batgirl--quickly realize that the Talons have returned, yet the reason for the killings remains tauntingly unknown. As the heroes seek answers, their path stretches back more than a century. Should the Owls obtain what they seek, it could grant them power that no one could counter. With each moment that passes, more victims appear. Batman must stop the Talons before they kill again.
