Publisher's Summary:
Illusion gets more deadly than reality on Toby Peters's twenty-fourth outing from Edgar-winning author Stuart M. Kaminsky. A string of star-studded successes - most recently with Cary Grant in To Catch a Spy and an edgy Joan Crawford in Mildred Pierced - has won Tinseltown detective Toby Peters a bit of local celebrity, and that's something his new client, Harry Blackstone, understands.
At the Pantages Theater in Los Angeles, Blackstone is billed as the World's Greatest Living Magician. Of course, should the giant buzz saw in the climax to Blackstone's act cut the beautiful young woman in fact in half, his sterling reputation would be ruined. And someone among the Los Angeles Friends of Magic is decidedly intent upon ruining it - whatever the price, including the life of Toby's prime suspect.
Unfortunately, with the corpse count mounting, the evidence is pointing increasingly to Toby's client as the man behind the murders. As always, adding to the wackiness of Toby's investigation are the ungentle dentist Sheldon Minck, wrestler-poet Jeremy Butler, the suave, small-statured Swiss multilingualist Gunter Wherthman, and daffy Mrs. Plaut. But to solve the case, Toby finds he needs someone else - the dashing star of the movie A Thousand and One Nights, Cornel Wilde.

So Sad to Say Goodbye
Its my last Toby Peters book, after reading all 24 of them in a row. This was very good, with all the humor and suspense one comes to expect of the series, and I'll dearly miss travelling through the streets and environs of 1940's Hollywood. Toby did leave California a few times - went to Chicago in YOU BET YOUR LIFE, off to New York City in SMART MOVES and then , on a cross- country road trip from Philadelphia,Pa westward with none other than W.C. Fields in my personal favorite of the series, A FATAL GLASS OF BEER! All of the books are enjoyable, and I envy the new reader to discover these gems! In the meantime, I think I'll pick up my copy of BULLET FOR A STAR, and start all over again !

I've finished the whole series and loved them all. Brain candy, but tasty.
That Old Toby Peters Magic
"Now You See It" is the 24th volume in Kaminsky's always reliable Toby Peters series about a Hollywood P.I. who constantly finds himself on cases in the service of some of the most notable stars of that decade. True, the books are heavily formulaic, but it's a good formula and one that movie buffs and nostalgia freaks will always enjoy. If this latest entry has a flaw, it's that the celebrity du jour is one of Kaminsky's lesser entries. I bow to no one in my respect for the prestidigitorial skills of Harry Blackstone (whose work I saw on the old "Ed Sullivan" show) but, compared with people like Bogart, Cooper, Bette Davis, Groucho Marx and Eleanor Roosevelt, he is definitely minor league. Making up for this deficiency are the chapter headings which feature a series of easy-to-do tricks culled from (apparently) a Blackstone radio series.
