He's not that kind of magician -- but try telling the hitmen that.

Hobart, 1974. The champagne's flowing at Australia's first legal casino, and struggling lawyer William Clarin is eyeing a cushy political career to save his reputation.

But when American gangsters mistake him for someone who can make criminal charges disappear, William lands on their hit list.

His only option? Run.

Fleeing Tasmania, he finds himself out of his depth on the high seas -- outgunned, outmuscled, and definitely not in control. He'll need to conjure up something special if he wants to survive.

This fast-paced, darkly comic novella kicks off the Mad Bill's Island series with sharp wit, high stakes, and a disappearing act to remember.
