Psychics are being murdered and magician Eli Marks is the top suspect.  
His greatest trick? Not becoming the next victim.  
★★★★★ 
“The Ambitious Card is intelligently written and ... entirely engrossing.” – Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine 
The life of a magician isn’t all kiddie shows and card tricks. Sometimes it’s murder.  
Psychics are being murdered and Eli can't escape suspicion. Then things get really complicated when romance blooms with a beautiful psychic. Eli discovers she's the next target for murder and he's scheduled to die with her.  
Now Eli must use every trick he knows to reveal the true killer … before they become the next victims. 
★★★★★

“The Ambitious Card is a must read!” - Books and Looks 
“Before I had even finished the first chapter I had fallen in love with Eli. He is intelligent, sensitive, witty and, suddenly, the main suspect in a series of murders…well written, fast paced and exciting.” -The Frugal Mennonite 
“The deftly-plotted mystery is enriched by Eli’s relationships with his ex-wife, her new husband, his old-school stage magician Uncle Harry, and an interesting collection of people and places in and around St. Paul…This stylish novel is filled with interesting details, snappy dialogue, and appealing characters.” - More Than a Review 
“Well, Dear Reader, would I recommend The Ambitious Card? Would I read another Eli Marks mystery? Yes, I would do both.” - Charlie Britten, Write On
