Author: Spotson, Scott

Condition: New

Product Description Chaos reigns around the world. Strange creatures, accorded the title "Phantom Ninjas" by the media, are leaping off tall buildings and somersaulting back up without any scratch - and then disappear. There follows more spontaneous acts of magic, confounding the world. Who - or what - is responsible? In the middle of the mystery arrives Detective Hetfield, a private investigator just recently retired from the FBI, who is accustomed to fame as a star witness in the murder trial of a beloved actress. Hetfield, seeking ever more celebrity to boost his profile, uses the media to put forward the theory that a person of extraordinary magical powers is behind all the incidents, and labels him Dr. Magic. Hetfield gets much more than what he bargained for when that powerful being does exist - in the form of a young man long disillusioned with his past - and cruelly takes him up on his offer. Review Amazon Reviewer: "This story will appeal to readers of all ages. There is drama, suspense, mystery and an abundance of action. This is the Brain VS Brawn showdown that will have you on the edge of your seat every step of the way. It is an easy read with just a bit over 200 pages. Once you read it you will be hoping to see it on the big screen."Amazon Reviewer:"A thoroughly enjoyable book, just over 200 pages, that is quickly read, but will leave readers with a smile, an awareness that, perhaps, magic does exist in the world and, maybe, one day, we might even meet Dr. Magic! You should feel free to share Dr. Magic for the enjoyment of those, say, 12 and above... Highly recommended!"Amazon Reviewer:"Even though "Dr. Magic" has all the powers and seems to have everything going for him, it was with Detective Hetfield that I most identified with. Despite his human frailties of perhaps vanity and a desire to be the center of attention, it was his very humanness that I found attractive and could identify with. Even though he had no magical powers, using his keen sense of inquisitiveness and problem-solving ability, he was able to outwit the world's greatest magician with innate magical powers that defied reason and science."  About the Author Scott Spotson creates a wide variety of fiction, but what his works have in common is a sense of wonderment - about the relationships we value in our lives; about the world we live in.
