First Edition. "Baffling events never piled up quicker than the night George Chance, wealthy master magician, planned his honeymoon with his bride, Merry. He was ready to retire to private life, or so he thought, until his bodyguard, Joe Harper, reminded him that Harper, too, went right along on whatever honeymoon there was to be. For the urbane master magician was also an expert in the science of criminology. And for his astute and remorseless detection in the past he was not exactly in the favor of a certain Chicago business firm, whose business was murder."
