'There's more crime going on in Carey's Circus than in the whole
underworld of London. Theft, immorality, blackmail - you'll find
all the pretties here.'Seven Bengal tigers are the star attraction
of Carey's Circus. Their trainer is the fearless Anton, whose work
demands absolute fitness and the steadiest of nerves. When Anton is
found lying dead in the tigers' cage, it seems that he has lost
control and been mauled by the tigers - but Detective-Inspector
Minto of Scotland Yard is not convinced.Minto's investigations lead
him deep into the circus world of tents and caravans, clowns and
acrobats, human and animal performers. No one is above suspicion.
Carey, the circus-owner with a secret to hide; Dodo, the clown
whose costume is scratched as if by a claw; and Lorimer, the
trapeze artist jealous of his flirtatious wife - all come under
Minto's scrutiny as the mystery deepens.This amusing and
light-hearted novel from the golden age of British crime writing
has long been neglected, and this new edition will help to restore
Melville's reputation as an author of extremely entertaining
detective fiction.
