Description by Author:
In a circus of shadows, death takes centre
stage.In the shadowy heart of Prague, beneath the looming towers of Vysehrad
Castle, DCI Nash finds himself ensnared in a web of malevolence. As a
once-celebrated circus unravels into a maelstrom of death, the macabre
discovery of a fifteen-year-old trapeze artist signals the start of a nightmare
murder spree that disrupts the colourful façade of the big top.
With the spectral hum of an uninvited
carousel heralding a curse, Nash is thrown into a case where the performers
live by superstition and folklore.
With time running out, Nash battles the clock
to unmask the mastermind behind the madness. But the circus is a place where
crazy isn’t always fun. Every smile conceals an agenda. As the secrets unravel,
the real monsters aren’t in the funhouse . . . they walk among the innocent.
‘Cold-Blooded Carnival is the best Silas Nash
thriller yet. Written in a more vivid style than Black’s trademark
stripped-back prose, it’s a pulse-pounding thriller that will keep you on the
edge of your seat until the shocking reveal. Brilliant. A movie-worthy
masterpiece.’ — Brian Dawson
Step right up, if you dare, for a performance
where fear and suspense fly under the glittering lights of the big top.
