"The Conjurer" is a stunning series debut from a remarkable writer." - Jax Peters Lowell, author of "Mothers" "Corruption, clairvoyance, and family connections abound as you are transported back in time to the richly detailed world of Martha Beale. A smart and sumptuous series awaits." - Mary Alice Gorman, co-owner of Mystery Lovers Bookshop (Oakmont, Pennsylvania)Biddle, Cordelia Frances is the author of 'Conjurer' with ISBN 9780312383381 and ISBN 031238338X.
