Publisher's blurb: The circus has come to town! But rather than herald a time of festive joy and exotic entertainment, this normally wondrous event instead heralds a sudden rash of violent murders. The victims bear the unmistakable mark of talons on their savaged bodies—and it just so happens that this circus has among its exhibits numerous creatures capable of inflicting such wounds, not the least of which a mysterious sphinx. The folk who run the circus claim innocence, but as the murder spree continues, the town's patience swiftly wears thin and the threat of mob justice looms near. Desperate for aid in a town that's forbidden them to leave before an opportunity for justice presents itself, the carnies turn to adventurers for aid—can they find the culprit before the murderer finds them?
