The coauthor, John Northern Hilliard, is well known to conjurers as Howard Thurston's advance-man and editor and author of conjuring books. There are lots of references to magic and scenes in the novel that will delight the magician, such as: "They've thimble-rigged Turkey, shifted the cut on Germany, and run in a cold deck on England. Do you think they'd hesitate to turn a trump from the bottom to win this trick?"
