Searching for the answer, she reveals a man far more extraordinary than any of his audience could have imagined. Ruth Brandon reveals much that is new including how Houdini invented a phantom son and wrote daily long letters to his wife, Bess, who lived on the floor just below him; the first full description of Houdini's fabled death; and fresh material on the early life of Margery, the medium who played such a significant role in Houdini's life." ; AS NEW
