Book review - The Circus Of Ghosts, by Barbara Ewing
A MOTHER and daughter have run away to New York and joined a circus.
One is a mesmerist, the other is a tight-rope walker. Both are using the trickery and illusion beneath the big top to hide from a violent past but one man is hell-bent on finding them to settle a score. A gritty 19th-century thriller.
