Magicide by
Maxwell Beacham-Jones, the world’s most famous magician, has reached the zenith of his success. Now he’s planned the most daring, outrageous trick of his career.
But when Maxwell dies in a Las Vegas roller coaster escape stunt before a national television audience, it’s no accident. He was hated by his contemporaries, and all of the suspects are magicians—with plenty of secret motives for murder.
MAGICIDE introduces Las Vegas Metro Police detective and single mom, Cheri Raymer, and her vegetarian partner, Tony Pizzarelli. Together they follow a trail through the world of magic and show business that leads to intrigue and shocking revelations.
Raymer will face the most devastating personal threat in her career when her teen-aged son, Tom, fascinated by magic, becomes the protégé of a suspected killer.
About Magicide author Carolyn V. Hamilton
Writing is my life…
?well, maybe not completely…but I do love what I do, and I think that makes all the difference!
After a long career in advertising, marketing, graphic design & public relations, I joined the U.S. Peace Corps. As a volunteer assigned to rural community development work in the South American country of Suriname (formerly Dutch Guiana), I lived for a year in an indigenous Amerindian village on the northeast corner of the Amazon basin.
This experience inspired my first novel, the adventure/romance, “Hard Amazon Rain.”
It was also In Suriname where I learned the history of Elisabeth Samson, the first black woman in the 18th century Dutch plantation colony to get legal permission from the government to marry white, inspiring me to write my second novel, “Elisabeth Samson, Forbidden Bride.”
And I was off and writing… completing my Las Vegas-based murder mystery, “Magicide”, co-writing the Cork Proctor memoir, “My Mind is an Open Mouth,” and most recently “How to Create a Personal Art Journal.”
Right now I’m finishing my own memoir about coming to Las Vegas in the 70s to join a circus and opening the original MGM Grand Hotel as a cocktail waitress. “Coming to Las Vegas, a True Tale of Sex, Drugs & Sin City in the 70s” will debut in September 2014.
When that’s done, I’ll be completing another in-the-drawer project, a non-fiction book for authors, “Power Editing For Fiction Writers.”
