Woven throughout is his suspicious involvement in Harding’s death, which he can never shake, along with a rather odd federal agent, who dogs him every step of the way. After Carter turns his back on Yale and hits the vaudeville trail, eager to learn his craft, we follow him through the defeats of rival magicians, a meeting with Houdini, the early development of television, and on to his arrival at the pinnacle of the profession. Should he let the country in on it? From here, Gold backtracks to Carter’s early life in upper-middle-class, turn-of-the-century San Francisco, a period and place he lovingly re-creates. Indeed, the depressed Harding and the mysterious Carter even had an opportunity for a chat, in which, supposedly, Harding confided to Carter that he knew a terrible secret.
