Twenty-five cents may not seem like much, but for Harry Long, it was the price of admission into a world of magic. When a chance encounter with Charlie Wendigo, practitioner of deceptively simple-looking card and coin tricks, throws his meticulously balanced expense report off by a quarter that's been retroactively erased out of existence, Harry wants answers. Instead, he gets pulled out of the endless meetings of Corporate Hell and plunged into a series of life-or-death struggles against the sinister Men in Black (not the ones from the movie.) Harry finds himself enlisted in a decades-old battle that takes him from Baltimore Inner Harbor to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. Along the way he gains the love of Jane (no last name given), loses it, and then possibly finds it again. He also manages to lose Wendigo, but please bear with him, he's kinda new at all this...
