This title is part of our3 for 2 offeron British Library Fiction.

Seven Bengal tigers are the star attraction of Careys 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. Mintos 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 Mintos 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 Melvilles reputation as an author of extremely entertaining detective fiction.

Part of the Crime Classics series.
