Description
"Eric Weiss, better known as Harry Houdini, was one of the most skilful operatives the Janus branch ever produced. Like so many Janus, Houdini was a natural showman. But rumor has it that his escape skills were developed hunting the 39 Clues, and that his traveling shows and exhibitions were nothing but a useful cover for illegal activities. Harry Houdini died on Halloween in 1926, supposedly of appendicitis, and was buried in Queens, New York. However, a Houdini relative, George Hardeen, believes Houdini was poisoned. Hardeen has requested that Houdini's body be dug up to test this theory. Cahills around the world are wondering . . . could it be that the Lucians got to Houdini?"
