Circus of Secrets

As America pulls itself from the depths of the Great Depression, young college grad Peter Zelinsky inherits a circus from a long-lost uncle and is reluctantly drawn into an unfamiliar world of wild animals, roustabouts, performers, and dark desires. He soon becomes intrigued by an exotic sideshow performer with the physique of a man but the plumage of a bird, fur, and scales. The closer he gets to Kaelan, the deeper the mystery he finds surrounding the seductive performer, his uncle, and a fortuneteller.
