Carter Beats the Devil
of Glen David Gold (Goodreads Author)
Description
Charles Carterâa.k.a. Carter the Greatâis a young master performer whose skill as an illusionist exceeds even that of the great Houdini. But nothing in his career has prepared Carter for the greatest stunt of all, which stars none other than President Warren G. Harding and which could end up costing Carter the reputation he has worked so hard to create. Filled with historical references that evoke the excesses and exuberance of Roaring Twenties, pre-Depression America, Carter Beats the Devil is a complex and illuminating story of one man's journey through a magicalâand sometimes dangerousâworld, where illusion is everything.
