Carter Beats the Devil has a moustachioed villain, chase scenes, a lion, miraculous escapes, even pirates. Farnsworth and self-made millionaire Francis "Borax" Smith, and you have old-fashioned entertainment executed with a decidedly modern sensibility. Throw in countless stunning (and historically accurate) illusions, some beautifully rendered period detail, and historical figures like young inventor Philo T. In the course of subsequent pages, Carter finds himself pursued by the most hapless of FBI agents falls in love with a beautiful, outspoken blind woman and confronts an old nemesis bent on destroying him. Or does he? It's only the first of many misdirections in a magical performance by Gold. Shortly afterwards, Harding dies mysteriously in his San Francisco hotel room, and Carter is forced to flee the country. Gold's debut novel opens with real-life magician Charles Carter executing a particularly grisly trick, using President Warren G.
