No Jacket. Reno. 2017. November 2017. University of Nevada Press. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Wrappers. 9781943859443. 5.5 x 8.5. 256 pages. paperback. keywords: Mystery Noir Las Vegas. DESCRIPTION-A fiery ride through Vegas, filled with intriguing characters and prose like lightning. With this novel, David Kranes becomes the literary heir to Robert Stone. -Todd James Pierce, author of Three Years in Wonderland: The Disney Brothers, C. V. Wood, and the Making of the Great American Theme Park. Abracadabra is a fantastical and inventive addition to the tradition of noir writing, which not only delights and surprises at every turn but also raises important questions about identity, the human condition, the nature of evil, and the state of the union. The novel begins with a mystery, when Mark Goodson, a seemingly well-adjusted married man, disappears during a magic act, precipitating a series of events, encounters, and seemingly inexplicable occurrences, which it falls to a former professional football player, Elko Wells, to weave together into a story that is at once compelling and true. The concussion that ended Wells' playing career left him open to hearing voices and discerning patterns of meaning helpful to his work as the owner of a missing-persons agency. He also owns a celebrity look-alike agency, which complicates matters in humorous ways, and his reliance on a string of cocktail waitresses called the Bloody Marys who are on the lookout for various people adds another level of intrigue. Magicians and misdirection, gambling, down-on-one's-luck, the crazed sense of possibility and impossibility, mistaken identity, impersonators and body doubles, people acting bizarrely with all sorts of chaos, collisions, and overlaps thrown in for good measure. Again and again the reader is swept into treacherous waters, always confident that the writer is in control of his material. Because the many twists and turns the plot takes are all but impossible to anticipate, the experience of reading Abracadabra is deliciously magical. inventory #43791.
