SMOKE AND MIRRORS is the second in Tanya Huff's new series about Tony, a former street-kid, rescued by vampire Henry Fitzroy. Tony has moved out of Fitzroy's home and is now working as a production assistant on TV show 'Darkest Night' - ironically, a fictional show about a vampire detective. The action centres around the filming of a haunted house story ... unfortunately in an actual haunted house. When one of the crew is injured, the malevolent spirits in the house come to life. All doors shut at dusk and the deaths of the spirits' victims are replayed again and again ... The pattern follows a grisly theme of murder, then suicide, and each one of the multiple deaths is a story in itself. The cast will be set free - if they can survive the night. Tony becomes the focus of suspicion as he is the only one who can both see and communicate with the ghosts, as he tries to manage his burgeoning wizardly powers.
