The Blake Protocols X: The Illusionist

By Edgar Blackthorn

"Behind every mask lurks a lie - and every truth shatters in the mirror of deception."
Follow Inspector Blake on his darkest hunt - where illusion turns deadly.

Blurb:
A murder on stage. A theater of shadows. An inspector chasing the truth behind the masks.

When an illusionist dies a brutal death during a live performance, Inspector Arthur Blake is called to the fog-drenched streets of Liverpool. But the deeper he digs, the clearer it becomes: this is no ordinary crime. Among mirrors, masks, and ancient oaths, Blake uncovers a web of deception, betrayal - and a deadly legacy that stretches into the present.

In a theater where nothing is as it seems, Blake must not only track down a murderer but confront his own doubts.
Because those who tear away the masks risk losing themselves.
And some truths are better left in the dark.

The Blake Protocols X - The Illusionist is a gripping Victorian mystery, steeped in dark atmosphere, psychological intrigue, and unexpected twists. A must-read for fans of classic detective novels - and a haunting tribute to the dark magic of the theater.
