From the Author:
All of my life I've been intrigued by magic, by illusions. When the opportunity came up to do a new series, I decided to base it around an illusionist and escape artist. I consulted with some of the country's top magicians while writing this book and Singularity (and yes, you'll find a few secrets revealed in the books--but not too many).
My research for Placebo took me to some unusual places, including delving into quantum mechanics, stepping into the mind of a psychopath who wants to understand love, and meeting with a voodoo high priestess.
Not as dark and graphic as the Bowers novels, Placebo and Singularity include an intriguing cast of characters and some fun twisty storytelling.
