London. 1938. A murder has been committed on the Ferris wheel, and the only suspect — the victim's wife — categorically denies her guilt, despite the irrefutable evidence against her. Edward Ibbs, a young lawyer, takes on her case. As he delves deeper into it, Ibbs unwittingly finds himself caught in a dark web of conspiracy and murder. While investigating, Ibbs encounters two more completely unlikely crimes and finds himself in danger. First, a corpse appears right on stage during a performance, then a famous illusionist is killed in a locked dressing room behind the scenes. But here enters retired magician Joseph Spector, capable of uncovering any deception. However, will his deductive abilities be strong enough to unravel this tangled series of crimes and save Ibbs?
