Magorian, the world's first modern wizard, tackles a wayward entity in New York.
Magorian is offered a small fortune by billionaire property owner and media magnate, Navin Kiraly, to deal with a New York apartment building turned feral.
The apartment building Magorian investigates shows every sign of being haunted, with strange phenomena turning it into a potential death trap. This is way outside Magorian's field of expertise, but he must solve the riddles the building presents or be publicly declared a phony by Kiraly's media empire....

Praise for The Wizard Must Be Stopped!:
The solution wasn't what I expected.
This was a lighter, more humorous addition to the world of Magorian and Jones.
A true side story and can be read independent of the rest of the series.
I was riveted from beginning to end and was completely immersed in the story, almost feeling as if I was taking part in finding the solution to the mystery.
Thought-provoking without being preachy, quirky, and including an excellent Star Trek reference (which I particularly admire since I've been a fan for over 50 years), this was a really enjoyable read.
Lots of funny moments, but written in a understated, matter of fact way. The phrasing/delivery of some lines was just beautiful and made it that much better.
