Description
“Marvelously entertaining . . . Imbued with Posnanskiâ€s infectious passion for all things

Evvie Drake Starts Over “Whatever mystical inspiration drew Joe Posnanski to the story of
Harry Houdini, readers will be forever grateful. Joeâ€s writing about the mysterious and mythical
magician is touched by its own stunning magic.― —David Maraniss, author of A Good
