'One and One and One are Four' (3 Parts) by Trevor Preston

The laboratory of Nobel Prize-winning Professor Ekdorf is broken into, and a device that can cure paralysis is stolen. Realising the harm that such a machine could cause if in the wrong hands, Professor Ekdorf goes to his friend Mr. Sweet, an antiquarian bookseller, for help. Mr. Sweet turns to his colleague Tarot, a mystery-solving stage magician, who, with the aid of his stage-manager, Sam Maxted, immediately sets off to track down the thieves. While following a villain named Teddy Talk, Tarot and Sam, together with Lulli Palmer, Tarot’s assistant, discover that the brains behind the theft is Madame Midnight, head of a Mafia-like organisation run from a monastery. Madame Midnight plans to sell the stolen device to the highest bidder, and arranges for a demonstration for the various interested parties from around the world. Unfortunately, the subjects for the demonstration are Sam and Lulli…
