Conned: A Bureau Story is the sixth mystery novel in The Bureau series by author Kim Fielding.
World War I veteran Thomas Donne just arrived in San Francisco. Always a stoic man, shell shock and a lost love have nearly petrified his heart. Nearly broken, he takes on what seems like a simple case: searching for a missing young man.
A magician and mediator, Abraham Ferencz makes the audience believe that he can trick death and associate with their loved ones who have passed away. His performances were staged, the spirits were real, and they caused him almost more pain than he could bear.
As Donne’s case becomes complicated and bodies begin to pile up, he and Ferencz must fight their way through a web of deception and lies. The truth is obscured by the fog of San Francisco, and in their strange world, anyone can catch a bullet.
