A Las Vegas Magician Disappears, Two Million Bucks Are Missing, Chicago Wants Its Money. What does any of this have to do with Area 51? Or Roswell? Can two wise guys, a hooker and a lesbian softball team save the day?
Five Stars from Mary Walsh
This crime thriller is full of eccentric characters and kept me guessing until the end. The dialog is witty and I found myself laughing out loud at the humor. Find out what happened to the magician who vanished with 2 million dollars! Fun read.

The book crosses genre lines. Not just a great detective story, but a great story, period.

I found the book very entertaining, being from start to finish a pleasure to read. Mr. Pace rolls out a tightly weaved plot filled to the gills with colorful characters, places, and things. It is a very creative and busy novel which accomplishes what many novels don't. It never hits one false note. Through all the wild twists and crazy developments you're introduced to, the reader can feel confident that all is safely in the hands of a master story teller. This comes across page after page until the author folds all the pieces together, giving the story a very satisfying ending. This isn't my normal genre, but happy that I checked it out. I'm left curious to check out Mr. Pace's other works.

Having read Ray’s earlier work, I was delighted to see he had written something new recently I could buy. Disappearing Act: A Las Vegas Love Story, Sort of... is different from his previous titles but equally delightful. Combining several genres, it will appeal to anyone who likes an intricate plot, colorful characters, and most of all an irreverent sense of humor. (If Dave Barry was from Chicago, he might have written this book!). No group is spared being skewered, and you may need a trigger warning for those thin skinned and politically correct, as the characters are diverse and have real warts and blemishes. But Ray’s treatment is deft, the barbs and humor while earthy at times, does not reach the cringeworthy level of say, something like Borat! Instead, some passages are more like the Space Mountain ride at Disney: there is a very controlled descent, which is designed to cause a little thrill, but it quickly returns you safely (and mercifully without a lot of blood and f-bombs). I would love to see this as a movie...think sort of a modified Marx brothers romp with great scenery and a modern edge!

Fast moving book that keeps you turning the pages to follow along with the main character, a connected guy from Chicago, while he hunts for the 2 million bucks. The author has plenty of great dialogue and plot twists that keep you guessing on what's going to happen next. You won't win those bets, but you will get a great payoff in the end. Great read. You will enjoy it.

Classic Ray Pace mystery/crime fodder, chock full of offbeat characters, weird situations, gritty dialogue, and fun plot twists. A master of this genre, Pace keeps the tension and surprise at full tilt right up to the very end.

Stress-less reading, perfect for stressful covid life-quietness and excessive stillness.

Rapid-fire dialogue and plenty of action

Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2021

Residents of Hawaii will tell you that Las Vegas is considered the 9th Hawaiian Island, where we spend much of our vacation time – and even more of our vacation money. But Disappearing Act took me on a dizzying ride through a Vegas that few vacationers ever experience.

Several plot twists involve bundles of missing money that the boss in Chicago sends the story’s protagonist, Nick, to recover out in Vegas. A small parade of characters color the landscape, their actions and conversations often reminding me of scenes from Get Shorty or Good Fellas, which suggests this hard-boiled mystery would make a good movie.

What struck me most about this 144-page story was the rapid-fire dialogue, unfiltered thoughts, and often humorous actions of the characters. The novel is a quick read, but complex enough to require this reader’s full attention.

I received a copy of Disappearing Act from the author.

A Las Vegas magician disappears with 2 million dollars. The Chicago mob wants their money back.
Nick and an eclectic cast of characters are on the hunt.

I was surprised how much i liked this book. Read like a fast paced screenplay.
It started off as a straight mystery then turned into an episode of X-Files.
A rip into a parallel universe, alien iPhones, Aramaic coins that glow blue, a circular spaceship, and last but not least golem hookers. What's a golem? This all comes to a climactic end in the desert of Las Vegas.

An Interesting plot that digs around outside the box.

Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2021

The plots has multiple phases, some common mystery style, others that toy with the reader's imagination--teasing us to wonder where we're going. I like the generational mix of Old Chicago mugs and new Vegas
slicks who are related, but not too much.
The kicker is a hard boiled hero who amazes himself that he hasn't killed (or even shot) anybody and looks forward to winding up the caper so he can go home to tuck his daughter in.
