Title:Smoke and Mirrors
Author:Tanya Huff
Genre:Sci-Fi/Fantasy
About:Smoke and Mirrors is the 2nd 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 Production Assistant 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 fine 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-desserted, 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 one little hitch that no one's counted on. Caulfield House really is haunted.

Mrs Nelson's coworker at the Queen's University Life Science Department told Vicki that the cause of death was a heart attack, and that they'd be waiting for her to arrive in Kingston to make the funeral arrangements. But what started as an all too normal personal tragedy soon became the most terrifying case of Vicki's career. For when Marjory Nelson's body mysteriously disappeared from the funeral home, Vicki, vampire Henry Fitzroy, and Detective-Sergeant Mike Celluci realized that there was something unnatural about her mother's demise. Vicki swore she'd find the culprit, and see that her mother was properly laid to rest. But what she hadn't counted on was that someone at Queen's University seemed determined to keep Mrs. Nelson on the job-alive or dead!

Henry only hoped that he and Vicki would both survive the experience.
