Cirque Des Condamnes (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798218318253)

The show begins at the end of a long, intimidating night for a prestigious circus troupe known for producing big names. After the curtain falls, performers gather anxiously, expecting the night's results. However, they soon are greeted with a shocking crime scene on the main stage. A familiar body lies scattered about, and the cast must now participate in an improvised performance while fighting for their lives to escape. The only path of escape is the ringmaster's car, but he and his keys are nowhere to be found. With time running out before every act, the performers get caught in a swirl of deceit, anger, and passion. As isolated as the group is, the only plausible idea is that one of the cast has snapped.

With suspicion growing in each of their minds, the thirteen performers all become suspects in this sick show. Among them are twin clowns with contrasting personalities, two recently engaged magicians whose act involves blood and spiders, a terribly shy siren, and a respectable, strong woman. With a killer who has already planned their cues, lines, and movements, each star must watch their own back. Now, the main question on everyone's mind is who will survive until the final curtain call.
