It is 1980 and Jojo Evans is living the dream. Perfect job, perfect man, perfect life – but is it all an illusion?
Jojo doesn’t think so – she cannot believe her good fortune, working as magician’s assistant to her charismatic boyfriend, The Incredible Nico, and sharing his luxurious flat is a far cry from her life in a squat working as a street performer.
Best friend, Annie Daley, isn’t so sure. Jojo seems bewitched by this new boyfriend, and Annie doesn’t trust him.
When Jojo receives an anonymous note warning her to keep away from Nico, the friends suspect it’s from a jealous fan. But the threats that follow cannot be so easily dismissed, and Jojo fears for her life. Annie volunteers to investigate, and enters the world of the Golden Globe Theatre, where nothing is as it seems.
As tensions mount to a career-making show finale, things spiral out of control. Will Jojo and Annie see through the smoke and mirrors in time to save their lives, or is this to be their last act?

‘It’s a brilliant plot with a great twist! The description of the theatre, magic, and of the acrobatic performances are truly amazing.’
‘This book grabbed me from the start and then drew me right in, with twists and turns so I was not sure who I could trust, and the pace and tension built, right up to the brilliant finale.’
‘I love the way Deborah Klee weaves her stories around topical issues, and this one is no exception. It’s a tale of misplaced trust, sinister manipulation and the unfailing strength of good solid friendship and true love.’
