High Wire

It’s murder under the big top!

Summer fun has come to Brookhaven once again and Darcy is ready to enjoy the warm weather and outdoor festivities. Her relationship with Maggie couldn’t be any better and she finally feels like she’s earned her place among Brookhaven’s population. When a traveling circus comes to town, she jumps at the chance to take in the fantastical acts.  Not everyone is pleased to have the travelers around.

Not all is as it seems beneath the bright lights and high-flying stunts. There’s something mystical about the way the Master of Ceremonies lures people in. And when he turns up dead, things take a turn for the weird. Chief Hayes may have found the body, but he has no recollection of why he’s covered in the dead man’s blood.

Before long, suspicions mount that the chief could actually be the culprit. Secrets about his mysterious shapeshifting past come to light that only serve to tighten the proverbial noose around his neck. Refusing to believe a man so hell bent on upholding law and order would stoop to murder, Darcy sets out to prove his innocence. The deeper she digs, the more suspects emerge. Finding the real culprit may prove as death-defying as the high wire acts that drew her in.
