But the holiday cheer is lost on DI Edgar Stephens. He's investigating the murder of two children, Annie and Mark, who were strangled to death in the woods, abandoned alongside a trail of candy a horrifying scene eerily reminiscent of Hansel and Gretel. Edgar has plenty of leads to investigate. Annie, a surprisingly dark child, used to write gruesome plays based on the Grimms' fairy tales. Does the key to the case lie in her unfinished final script? Or does the macabre staging of Annie and Mark's deaths point to the theater and the capricious cast of characters performing in Aladdin? Once again Edgar enlists Max's help in penetrating the shadowy world of the theater. But is this all just classic misdirection?"-- |cProvided by publisher. 650 0 Magicians|vFiction. 650 0 Serial murder investigation|vFiction. 655 7 Mystery fiction.|2gsafd 655 7 Suspense fiction.|2gsafd 775 08 |iReproduction of (manifestation):|aGriffiths, Elly. |tSmoke and mirrors|dLondon : Quercus, 2015|z9781784290269 800 1 Griffiths, Elly.|tMagic men mystery ;|v02.
