THE DEADLY MAGIC

For every magic trick, a crime. In his first young adult novel, the master of suspense Raphael Montes introduces us to Squad Zero—a group of young detectives who will face an investigation full of dangers and plot twists.

In the world of magic, not everything is as it seems. Pedro knows this very well; after all, he's always been fascinated by illusionism. He just never imagined he'd truly enter this universe because of a terrible crime. After his best friend falls victim to a sinister magician, Pedro decides to find the culprit at all costs. So, the boy gathers Pipa, Analu, and Miloca, his school friends, to form Squad Zero—and together they solve the case.

It doesn't take long for the criminal to claim new victims, always using famous magic tricks. In a race against time, the four young investigators will have to cross the city in an adventure involving eccentric illusionists, thrilling books, and an imposing castle. Will the group be able to discover who the terrifying magician is before he performs his next trick?
