Kansas, 1959. When a travelling carnival appears overnight, the townsfolk of Seneca Falls are entranced. But the circus brings more than just magic and illusion to the small town: a dead man is discovered beneath the carousel.

For FBI Special Agent Michael Travis, the world is clear cut. But there are a lot of grey areas in this case. The carnival folk are unwilling to answer a straight question and they begin to challenge Travis’s once unshakeable faith in solid facts and hard evidence…

As the investigation turns ever more disturbing, Travis is forced to question everything he believes in as a dark and horrifying conspiracy comes to light.

Reviews

MAIL ON SUNDAY
"At a time when crime fiction has become so formulaic, it's a relief to find a book as left-field as this latest offering from RJ Ellory... An intriguing, delightfully unpredictable novel."
IRISH INDEPENDENT
"An atmospheric thriller with a gallery of fascinating characters."
DAILY EXPRESS
"He [Ellory} raises interesting questions about society and our fear to question."
