The Lion Tamer — Luisa Buehler

When fifty-year-old skeletal remains of a man and a lion are discovered in an old circus wagon pulled from a marsh, Grace Marsden's curiosity is immediately piqued. But her excitement is interrupted by a chilling voice from the grave -- a threatening letter penned by a dead woman, vowing revenge. All clues point to Grace's husband Harry's treacherous past, and a vendetta sealed in blood.

But Grace has no cause to link the circus mystery and her own, until the body of a stalker is found bludgeoned behind her home. She suspects that somehow the two mysteries have become entangled. As danger closes in, Grace pieces together a ruthless story of greed, diamond smuggling and murder under the big top. But can she perform her own death-defying act...?
