Someone has sold a number of incredibly valuable first editions of Shakespeare's collected plays at the antique auction house The House of Wendlebury and Chief Inspector Inglis suspects foul play. These rare First Folios are in mint condition, but are not forgeries. Where on earth could they have come from? Has a crime been committed? Luckily Phyllis Wong is on the case.

And how can she do this without giving away the greatest magical secret of all time? Phyllis Wong, that keen young magician with a talent for sleuthing and getting to the bottom of the strangest mysteries, is back! Here, she finds her world turned upside-down as she discovers that there is magic about that is far more amazing than even she could imagine - and villainy the likes of which she has never encountered! As Phyllis herself says: 'Fasten your seatbelts, ladies and gentlemen - the ride will get bumpy!' An intriguing story about a young magician with a talent for deduction from the author of the bestselling Cairo Jim Chronicles.
