Josef Houdini takes after his father: A gifted escape artist, there's not a jam he can't get himself out of. Then again, when your father is one of the greatest illusionists of all time, that comes as no surprise.

In rare form he finds himself trapped, stuck on a mission he is unable to escape from. That's why the government needs his son to fill his shoes and complete the mission, but does Josef have the wherewithal to do it? Packed with intrigue, suspense, and fantasy, After Houdini is a revisionist look at one of history's most mysterious figures.

Trapped on the jungle island, Prendick soon discovers that the animal impulses of these creatures are far from forgotten.
