Synopsis: &“The most engaging detective in decades&” returns to his big-top roots to solve some bizarre murders—but this time he&’s working without a net (Library Journal). With a genius IQ, a past career as a circus acrobat, and a black belt in karate, criminology professor Dr. Robert Frederickson—better known as &“Mongo the Magnificent&”—has a decidedly unusual background for a private investigator. He also just so happens to be a dwarf. Mongo&’s days as a professional acrobat are long over, but when he learns his former boss is down on his luck—and the circus has been sold—he heads to Florida to rally his fellow ex-performers to help buy back the spectacle they once called home. With seductive snake charmer Harper Rhys-Whitney in tow, Mongo sets out to make a deal with the traveling show&’s mysterious new owners. But when they track down the talented troupe in America&’s heartland, Mongo and Harper discover something has shifted under the big top: A string of grisly murders has dogged the circus&’s route, causing local tabloids to cry &“Werewolf!&” Now, if he wants to save his old gig, Mongo will have to get back in the center ring to figure out what&’s been going bump in the night . . . The Fear in Yesterday&’s Rings is the 10th book in the Mongo Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.
