Final Bow at the Bijou (Evie Harris Mysteries, #1)

She was a mere stage performer. Until she pulled the disappearing act of a lifetime…
Evie Harris knows all about grief and despair. After losing her brother to WWI and her mother to the Spanish Flu, she's spent the past four years simply getting by, not scared of much but not looking forward to anything either.
Enter world-renowned magician and famous escape artist Harry Houdini and his friend Jack Thompson.
The two men approach Evie's father with an unusual request: They want his help to locate Jack's missing sister, Flora Thompson. A magician's assistant who just happened to step into the disappearing cabinet and vanish for good.
Leaving behind her quiet life, Evie disguises herself and goes undercover, becoming the new magician's assistant of the traveling vaudeville show.
She is sure Flora is no runaway. But she'll have to maneuver her way out of illusion and misdirection to uncover the truth.
Can she do that without arousing suspicion, or will the show's final trick be played on her?
