This is a new meticulously researched biography of Houdini. It goes into more detail about Houdini's life, including the contention that he was a spy. I especially liked the greater details about Houdini's exposing the fraudulent mediums and spiritualists, and how they may have had a hand in his mysterious death. All in all, an excellent biography, very interesting and readable.
