Dirty Details Done Dirt Cheap:
There is a fine line between illusions and real magic, and the man who walks that line is Philip Swann, a celebrated stage magician who enjoys the finer things in life: worldwide fame and acclaim, a beautiful home in Los Angeles and a trophy wife giving him nightly pleasures in his bed. However, Swann's most elaborate stage illusion to date goes horribly wrong and the magician is gruesomely killed by his own trick. Or is he? And what does it all have to do with a mysterious cult leader named Nix? Never fear - private dick Harry D'Amour is on the case to investigate the weirdness and bang the trophy wife.
