The Bullet Trick - Louise Welsh

When down-at-heel Glasgow conjurer William Wilson gets booked for a string of cabaret gigs in Berlin, he''s hoping his luck''s on the turn. There were certain spectators from his last show who he''d rather forget. Like the one who''s now a corpse. Amongst the showgirls and tricksters of Berlin''s scandalous underground Wilson can abandon his heart, his head and, more importantly, his past. But secrets have a habit of catching up with him and, as he gets sucked into certain lucrative after-hours work, the line between what''s an act and what''s real starts to blur.
