A FINALIST for the JukePop/Black Hills Press Summer Writing Project

Harry Houdini has a hidden talent unlike any other-and it isn't magic. The world's most famous illusionist has escaped death countless times because of his supernatural ability to see potential outcomes. But his secret ability is about to be revealed and his true identity compromised.

When a man on the run seeks out the magician for help from a deadly pursuer, the only outcome Houdini sees is death. Even so, he must perform his most dangerous illusion to lure a supernaturally strong man to Hollywood, where he and a band of other uniquely gifted friends can confront him. It's a risky move that will force Houdini to decide who can live and who must die.

An origins story of The Sixteen Burdens, this award-winning novella kicks off the adventure of the series, taking place fifteen years before Gray Studebaker finds himself in the middle of the hunt for Newton's Eye.

David Khalaf was born in Orange County, California. He studied print journalism at the University of Southern California, where he served as editor of the Daily Trojan newspaper and held court on the patio outside Carl's Jr. He later went to graduate school at USC for creative writing. He has been a waiter longer than he cares to remember. David wrote his first full novel, a futuristic social satire, right out of college. It's still sitting on a high shelf somewhere. Don't go looking for it. The Sixteen Burdens series grew in part out of David's interest in Los Angeles history and in Hollywood during the Golden Age of film. After nearly twenty years in Los Angeles, he came to know the city well, mostly after getting lost. He currently lives in Portland, Oregon. He still gets lost sometimes. If you're interested in stalking David and discovering fun curiosities from 1930s and '40s American culture, follow his author page on Facebook: www.facebook.com/davidkhalafwriting.
