{"product_id":"9781464203404","title":"The Magician's Daughter : A Valentine Hill Mystery","description":"\u003cp\u003eReality is illusion. Illusion is reality, and nothing is what it seems.\n\u003cbr\u003eThis is how Magician Valentine Hill always begins her act. Valentine herself is a case in point: she is unquestionably real, but she has no legal existence. Her mother, a skilled con artist, has never revealed Valentine's real age, birth place, or her father's identity—except to say that he was a magician.\n\u003cbr\u003eNo grifter herself, the scrupulous Valentine has spent years searching for her evasive mother, desperate to learn the basic facts of who she is. Literally, to get a life. Robbed of her stake in Vegas, she chases it to San Francisco where a series of odd events reunites her with her mother who, Valentine is sure, despite her respectable façade, is playing one of the city's super rich. And Valentine quickly enters a world where truly nothing is what it seems. A socialite is a ruthless criminal, a car mechanic a psycho killer, and a cab driver a seductive gangster. After a friendly FBI agent is killed, Valentine forces herself into playing a grifter's role to put the criminals—and her mother—away. Or at the very least, get what she wants from mom. Will her skills as a magician prove enough to help her maintain the illusion?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Poisoned Pen Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50257044865272,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":37.18,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.au\/products\/9781464203404","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
