Slaughter at the Circus

Slaughter at the Circus

Skewered to the wheel of death! That is how knife throwing assistant Jacques was found this morning in the Big Top at Slaughter's Circus. While in front of his spread-eagled corpse lay Jade Edge, the knife thrower herself. Unconscious, and with her breath smelling of gin. Has a practice session gone terribly wrong? Or is there a more sinister explanation?

Sam Slaughter, Owner and Ringmaster of Slaughter's circus, believes the latter. Ten circus performers are deemed to be particularly suspicious, and Sam has summoned them to an impromptu enquiry.

Slaughter at the Circus is a tale of sabotage, stolen diamonds, insatiable passion, lions, red noses, tarot, wildebeest carcasses and more!
