Who would murder a circus clown?

And why?

When private investigator Miranda Steele gets a call from an old "friend" in Dallas, Texas and decides to take his case, her boss and husband Wade Parker is none too pleased.

Especially when she insists he stay home due to his recent injuries.

No way, Jose.

But when Southeastern sophisticated meets Southwestern country, tempers blaze hotter than Texas chili sauce, stressing Miranda's relationship with Parker to the max.

And sending Miranda into a turmoil.

How can she solve this case with the clash between her past "friend" and her present husband raging? She needs to figure it out before more people die.

But the murder of a circus clown is about to lead her to something more disturbing and bizarre than even Parker could have predicted.

Will she survive what she discovers?
