SMOKE AND MIRRORS
TANYA HUFF

From Tanya Huff, the author of the acclaimed Blood novels, which followed the adventures of private detective Vicki Nelson and
vampire Henry Fitzroy, comes the second novel in a brilliant new contemporary fantasy series, SMOKE AND MIRRORS.
The first novel in the series, SMOKE AND SHADOWS, reintroduced us to Henry Fitzroy, and to Tony Foster, a former street kid and
“snitch” rescued from his dead-end existence by Vicki and Henry, and given a chance for a better life.
Relocating to Vancouver with Henry, and forced to get his act together, Tony landed a job as a Production Assistant at CB
Productions. In an example of art echoing life, the syndicated TV series Tony worked for was Darkest Night, a show about the
adventures of a vampire detective.
Except for his unrequited crush on the show’s handsome costar, Lee Nicholas, Tony was pretty content. . .at least until the day
shadows took over the set. Though Tony and most of his coworkers survived their encounter with shadowy forces of dark magic,
survival was not without its price. Tony discovered a surprising truth about himself and was offered a chance to become far more than
a mere Production Assistant. But he wasn’t certain he wanted to take that next step. And so, though he occasionally practiced the skills
that CB Productions’ former special effects wizard had gifted him with, Tony continued to fill the job of Production Assistant on
Darkest Night.
Everything was going fine until Chester Bane rented Caulfield House, a long-deserted, turn-of-the-last-century mansion, to shoot an
episode about a haunted house.
It should have been an easy week, with a perfect setting, the cast all in place, the script ready to go. But there was one little hitch that
no one had counted on. Caulfield House really was haunted! Over the decades, a number of horrifying deaths had occurred in the
mansion. And apparently none of the victims had managed to escape to an afterlife. . . .
It began with harmless pranks—after all, some of the ghosts were just kids. Then there was trouble with equipment, eerie sounds, and
Tony’s discovery that he could see-and hear-the dead. He probably could have dealt with that. He’d certainly lived through far more

terrifying and perilous situations. But that was before someone’s blood was spilled. Just a little accident, but in this case, a little was
all it took.
Suddenly, Tony and most of the cast and crew found themselves imprisoned in a house that had killed numerous times before. With
Henry Fitzroy and Chester Bane unable to break through the barrier the house had created, all that stood between them and madness
and death was Tony’s fledgling ability as a wizard. . . .

Although she left Nova Scotia at three, and has lived most of her life since in Ontario, Tanya Huff still considers herself a Maritimer.
