Death comes to the circus . . .

On a cold London morning, the body of a clown is found hanging from the high wire far above the vast emptiness of the Olympia Amphitheater. Sherlock Holmes is called in to investigate the strange and macabre occurrence, but with few clues to go on, even he is stymied as to how the clown met his sad fate. 

The Baker Street team hopes this new mystery will divert Holmes from his obsession with a killer who recently eluded capture. But when the two cases prove to be linked, they find the danger has doubled. If they don't act quickly to catch this killer, their own fates hang in the balance . . .

This fun Sherlock mystery gives readers a fascinating peek behind the curtains of a historic traveling circus, complete with colorful characters, thrilling twists and turns, and an ending that will surprise even the most seasoned Sherlock Holmes fans.
