A hard-boiled Hollywood PI has to work without a net to save Emmett
Kelly from a killer who’s not clowning around: “Nostalgic fun”
(Publishers Weekly). In February 1942, Californians may be living
in fear of a Japanese attack, but the show must go on. The circus is
in town—unfortunately so is a killer saboteur who’s targeting the
star attractions. Private detective Toby Peters is no stranger to
going undercover, but this is the first time his disguise will include
a red nose. The killer has already electrocuted an elephant, and
hobo clown Emmett Kelly has had a close brush with death. The
second-rate circus in this sleepy coastal town seems like another
world from Peters’s usual Hollywood beat, but of all people, Alfred
Hitchcock, the director of Suspicion, is under suspicion. With the
investigation on the verge of becoming a three-ring circus, it’s up
to Toby Peters to cage the killer before anyone else meets a bad end
under the big top. Edgar Award winner Stuart M. Kaminsky’s
“Toby Peters series [is] a delight . . . Written with more than a
dash of humor” and this big-top murder mystery is a “fun,
lightweight book for all mystery fans” (Library Journal).
