The anticipation I had for this books was fully founded when I reached the last page. The whole concept of mixing magic with the world of crime bosses and controling families was refreshing. I really enjoyed the voice of Cassel ever explaining the technicalities of the con. There are just enought twists to keep the pages turning. Can't wait for Red Glove. I brashly and gloatingly admit that I had the opportunity to meet Ms. Black at a book signing the day I finished and I am in awe of her genius.
