Lucy Moon, daugh­ter of America’s most renowned mag­ic fam­i­ly, has always lived in the shad­ow of leg­ends. Deter­mined to forge her own path, she takes the stage at Atlantic City’s haunt­ed Black Wid­ow The­atre for a career-defin­ing per­for­mance. But when her best friend Van is found mur­dered inside the infa­mous saw­ing box — the same box that hid a real mur­der vic­tim decades ago — Lucy is thrust into a dead­ly game where every sus­pect is a mas­ter of decep­tion. Haunt­ed by the ghost of Cleo West, a glam­orous World War II-era assis­tant whose life end­ed in that same box, Lucy must nav­i­gate Atlantic City’s crim­i­nal under­world, con­front her family’s dark secrets, and resist falling for a charis­mat­ic magi­cian who might be the killer. With the help of a fierce cir­cle of female magi­cians and mys­tics, she races to expose the truth before she becomes the final act. Zigzag Girl is a noir-tinged thriller about illu­sion, buried secrets, and the dan­ger­ous mag­ic women cre­ate to sur­vive in a world designed to make them disappear.
