Nicholas, it seems, has inherited a country house — but only if he and his family are in residence from All Hallows' Eve through Bonfire Night.

The life of a magician isn't all kiddie shows and card tricks. Sometimes it's murder. Especially when magician Eli Marks very publicly debunks a famed psychic, and said psychic ends up dead. The evidence, including a bloody King of Diamonds playing card (one from Eli's own Ambitious Card routine), directs the police right to Eli.

As more psychics are slain, and more King cards rise to the top, Eli can't escape suspicion. Things get really complicated when romance blooms with a beautiful psychic, and Eli discovers she's the next target for murder, and he's scheduled to die with her. Now Eli must use every trick he knows to keep them both alive and reveal the true killer.

The Black Stiletto Series by Raymond Benson, Now $2.99 Each for Kindle

Tomorrow, Endings & Beginnings, the fifth and final book in The Black Stiletto series by Raymond Benson is published by Oceanview Publishing, and today you can purchase all five books in the series for Kindle — including pre-ordering the new title — for just $2.99 each.

The series began in 2011 with The Black Stiletto, which introduced
Judy Cooper as the titular character, an (at the time in the late 1950s) unidentified woman who battled Communist spies, took on the Mafia, and preyed on common crooks, someone who exacted punishment on evildoers without mercy. In the present, her son discovers his now Alzheimer-stricken mother's diaries, which details the exploits of the Black Stiletto … and he can only assume that she was the underground heroine of yesteryear. Though filled with doubt and disbelief, when someone with a thirst for revenge enters their lives, it is up to him and his own daughter to protect her.

Books two through four quickly followed — Black & White, Stars & Stripes, and Secrets & Lies — with the fifth, Endings & Beginnings, being the startling, climactic finale to this five-book saga. On Wednesday, we'll be interviewing Raymond Benson. Please join us to hear what he has to say about this exciting series.
