The fifth book in the Magic Men series, Now You See Them is a wild mystery with detective Edgar Stephens and the magician Max Mephisto, as they investigate a string of presumed kidnappings in the swinging 1960s.

The new decade is going well for Edgar Stephens and his good friend the magician Max Mephisto. Edgar is happily married, with children, and promoted to Superintendent. Max has found fame and stardom in America, though is now back in England for a funeral, and a prospective movie job. Edgar's new wife, though - former detective Emma - is restless and frustrated at home, knowing she was the best detective on the team.

But when an investigation into a string of disappearing girls begins, Emma sees her chance to get back in the action. She begins her own hunt, determined to prove, once and for all that she's better than the boys. Though she's not the only one working toward that goal - there's a new woman on the force, and she's determined to make detective. When two more girls go missing, both with ties to the group, the stakes climb ever higher, and Max finds himself drawn into his own search.

Who will find the girls first? And will they get there in time?

A series of abductions and a clash between Mods and Rockers have The Brighton police busy in the 5th book of The Mystery Men series.
It's been about 10 years since the last case and Edgar and Emma are married with three children. Emma has given up her place on the police force, and she's not so sure she fits in as a mother and house wife. She and newspaper woman Sam do some investigating of their own behind the scenes when several young girls are abducted and then Ruby disappears.
Max is now a movie star married to a much younger leading lady with 2 children. He's moved to America but is back in Brighton scouting locations for a movie he's about to start filming with a young heartthrob. The Bobbysoxers, as the young film star's followers are called, hang outside his hotel in London, and become witnesses in the abduction of one of the missing girls. New WPC Meg Connally gets her chance to shine and prove that women do belong on the police force.
Elly Griffiths weaves another spectacular tapestry of a mystery with the characters you love. Though, there is no magic here, there's always smoke and mirrors and slight of hand.
