As If By Magic Unknown - 2010
by Gordon-Smith, Dolores
From the publisher
George Lassiter is ill, destitute and desperate. Desperate enough to break into the kitchen of a stranger's house for warmth, food and shelter. And there, on that bitterly cold night in 1922, he witnesses a murder. The murder of a beautiful girl. But what's happened to the body? When the police search the house the next day they find nothing. The corpse has vanished, as if by magic. "It was a Hallucination born of delirium", say the police, and reluctantly George is forced to agree. Even his friend and rescuer Jack Haldean believes it was a nightmare - but the consequences of that nightmare will plunge Jack into a tangle of lies and obsession, as George hunts for his inheritance and Jack hunts a ruthless killer.
