About this ebook
In this mystery series debut, the circus visits a Colorado mountain town—and murder follows soon after.
In the summer, campers flock to Cedar Valley's meadows and fields. In the winter, skiers and snowboarders take over the mountains. But those who live there know that dark secrets are buried beneath the town's natural splendor.
When a clown from a traveling circus is murdered, Detective Gemma Monroe is shocked to discover the victim's true identity. The young man is no stranger, but a local who had returned home with a new name—and a mysterious agenda.
Gemma's investigation takes her from the seedy circus grounds to the elegant homes of those who control Cedar Valley's future. Six-months pregnant, with a partner she can't trust and colleagues who know more than they're saying, Gemma tracks a killer who will stop at nothing to keep those secrets buried.
