Magic City weaves history, mysticism and murder into a tightly plotted tale of ordinary yet heroic characters. Joe Samuels, a young black man trying to be the next Houdini, must solve the riddle of his brother's ghost and find a way to escape being lynched for a rape he did not commit. Mary Keane, a young white woman, must find a way to free herself from her own loneliness and fight to make townsfolk listen to her and exonerate Joe. Ghosts, magic, jail escapes and a visitation from Houdini create the backdrop for Joe's and Mary's journeys of self-discovery and racial understanding. A harrowing and mythic tale of dreams, magic and violence gone awry, Magic City leads the reader through twists and turns to a conflagration of destruction and revelation.
