Description: Chas is a detective who doesn't stake out cheating husbands, track down missing persons, or match withs with femmes fatales. Instead of pounding the pavement, he taps a computer keyboard. He can get the goods on anyone, and it's all to make sure superstar Las Vegas mind reader Wallace the Amazing stays amazing. Thanks to Chas's steady stream of stealthy intel, Wallace's mental "magic" packs houses every night. But when someone threatens to call the psychic showman's bluff, the sweet gig takes a sour--and sinister--turn. Who's the clean-cut couple gunning for Wallace with an arsenal of dirty tricks? Why does Wallace keep upping the ante instead of backing down? And just how much does Chas really know about his mysterious boss's life...or his own? The tangled truth--of blackmail, kidnapping, and false identities--quickly becomes the biggest case of his strange, secret career.
