The Zig Zag Girl by Elly Griffiths
Set in post-World War II England, this gripping mystery follows Detective Inspector Edgar Stephens as he investigates a series of gruesome murders that eerily mimic magic tricks. When a young woman's body is discovered cut into three parts, reminiscent of the "Zig Zag Girl" illusion, Edgar is drawn back into the world of stage magic, a realm he once knew well during his wartime service in a special operations unit. Teaming up with his old friend, the charismatic magician Max Mephisto, Edgar delves into a web of secrets, deception, and betrayal, where the line between illusion and reality blurs, and the past holds the key to solving the present-day crimes.
