Alex opened the door with his parents’ names written on it. He discovered a cramped office with shelves lining three of the walls, floor to ceiling. In the center, two desks sat facing each other, both buried under stacks of books, files, and loose papers.

In the midst of the clutter sat a framed photo of a little girl holding a baby. Emma, Alex realized. His sister, holding him, not long after he’d been born.

Everything was covered with a thick film of dust. Had nobody been in here since the day his parents died?

Died doing what? Not searching for old bits of pottery from the Nile Valley or lost Aztec temples, that was for sure.

Alex grabbed the topmost book on a pile. Houdini’s Lost Dove Act, it was called.

“Probably a good reason it was lost,” Alex muttered. He tossed the book gently aside, raising a cloud of dust, and grabbed the next, a small, slim volume called Practical Magic Methods: How Not to Get Burned at the Stake by Jermay Lucas. He flipped through the pages. Well, if he ever needed to switch two coins without touching them, the way Agglar had wanted him to, he’d found the right book to teach him.
