Product Description

Are these two books – “Of Ghosts and Magic,” and “House of Tarot Cards” – on your reading list? If not, they should be! Al Albers has received outstanding reviews from readers across the U.S. and from Canada.

A retired U.S. Navy veteran, Al is a Technical Writer/Editor for a defense contractor, and a part-time professional magician in his spare time.

Both of Al’s novels, “Of Ghosts and Magic,” and “House of Tarot Cards,” feature protagonist John Michaels, a retired Master Magician living in Virginia Beach.

Al has created a down-to-earth character who voluntarily becomes a private investigator to help unravel a seemingly impossible mystery. Michaels’ unique understanding of how the mind can be easily fooled, coupled with his outside the box thought process, methodically proves that an unconventional clue – no matter how strange – is always worth pursuing.

“Of Ghosts and Magic,” and “House of Tarot Cards.” Two different novels with one common denominator: a unique blend of magic and mystery.

Available in paperback and eBook formats.
