Glen David Gold’s “Carter Beats the Devil”, is based in pre-Depression America during the 1920’s – a nation fixated on magic. The story takes off as Carter the Great – in the middle of his wondrous magic routine – invites a special guest to participate in his show. Enter Warren Harding, the current president of the United States of America. His portion in the show is to be brutally dismembered and fed to a hungry lion. Of course, it’s just magic, right? Two hours after the show, President Harding is announced deceased. Thus begins the Secret Service’s search for a slippery Charles Carter who is a suspect for the murder of President Harding!
