Summary
Magic or miracles?
Gilbert Gilbertson, an inept magic clown whose biggest gigs are kids' birthday parties, suddenly develops skills in sleight-of-hand and stage illusions that confound expert magicians. He also begins affecting people in strange ways, as well as winning staggering amounts of money in Las Vegas, which he donates to the Catholic Church.
Jack Madison, an agnostic neurologist, debunker of miracles, and best-selling author, is asked to investigate the matter of Gilbert the Magic Clown. In pursuing the mystery, Jack becomes the unlikely partner of Joan Firestone, a beautiful Las Vegas detective and expert in casino fraud.
Enter a far-right fringe group within the Catholic Church, convinced that Gilbert is working legitimate miracles - miracles they believe will convince Catholics to return to more conservative ways. Jack and Joan land at the top of the group's hit list as they try to figure out how Gil Gilbertson does what he does.
Things culminate in the closing act of a Las Vegas magician's convention, when Gilbert performs what all agree is the greatest magic act of all time - a magic act that has unexpected and dire repercussions.

Fascinating read
This was an intriguing story and kept me wanting to hear more. The narrator has a wonderful delivery that enhanced the atmosphere, making the experience all the more delicious.
Since this is the author's first book, I do hope that he will write more - he has such a talent - thank you Lawrence Michaelis!

Excellent
The story held my interest throughout with just the right amount of magic, science and mystery to make the plot work. Will definitely be adding this to my list of authors from whom I wish to read more.
