β¦ Synopsis
Ninguno de los admiradores de Sherlock Holmes o amante de la aventura y el misterio con mayΓΊsculas debe perderse este espectΓ‘culo de magia, salpicado de suspense, comedia y romance. Cuando Harry Houdini es encerrado por espionaje, vΓctima de un montaje, Sherlock Holmes se compromete a limpiar su nombre. Ambos se unen para derrotar a los criminales que quieren chantajear al prΓncipe de Gales. El caso requiere de todas sus habilidades; y aΓΊn mΓ‘s. Houdini consigue transformarse en ectoplasma y protagoniza una audaz huida de Scotland Yard. Watson se convierte en la ΓΊnica persona en presenciar su fuga de una celda. Su experiencia como mago profesional, su buen hacer al documentar sus textos, su estilo llano y evocador y su amor por el misterio bien construido hacen de Daniel Stashower un digno heredero de Conan Doyle y Poe, manifestado tanto en obras de ficciΓ³n, como en ensayos.
