The Jessica Blackwood series follows a former stage magician who joins the FBI. Her unique background gives her insight into deception, misdirection, and the psychology of performance, which she applies to criminal investigations. Angel Killer (2012) introduced the character, and the series draws directly on Andrew Mayne’s own experience as a professional illusionist.
The six books blend traditional FBI thriller plotting with the world of stage magic. Name of the Devil (2015) and Black Fall (2017) expand Blackwood’s cases into increasingly complex territory. The character later crosses over with Theo Cray in a combined series.
