DEATH cracks the whip as the Great Merlini, magician-detective, matches wits with a ruthless killer beneath the big top of a circus. A mysterious youngwoman turns up late one afternoon at Merlini's magic shop in New York City. She wants to buy a headless' lady—a side-show illusion, we hasten to add, and not a corpse. But why does she use a phoney name and what compels her to steal the apparatus when Merlini refuses to sell it ? |
