    "description": "<p>Smoke and mirrors is the second novel in a brilliant new contemporary fantasy series that reintroduces us to two characters from Tanya Huff's beloved blood novels- vampire Henry Fitzroy and Tony Foster, a former street kid and 'snitch' who is given a chance for a better life by Henry. Relocating to Vancouver with Henry, and forced to get his act together, Tony lands a job as a Pruduction Assisstant at CB Productions. In an example of art echoing life, the syndicated Tv series Tony works for is Darkest Night, a show about the adventures of a vampire detective. Everything is going fin until shadowy forces from another dimension attack the crew, and Tony discovers he's a fledgling wizard. Things have been quiet on the set since the defeat of the shadows. Then Chester Bane, head of CB Productions, rents Caulfield House, a long-deserted, turn-of-the-last-century mansion, to shoot an episode about a haunted house. It should be an easy week, with a perfect setting, the cast all in place, the script ready to go, but there's a little hitch that no one's counted on. Caulfield House really is haunted!</p>",
