Synopsis
Kansas, 1959. A travelling carnival appears overnight in the small town of Seneca Falls, intriguing the townsfolk with acts of inexplicable magic and illusion. But when a man's body is discovered beneath the carousel, with no clue as to his identity, FBI Special Agent Michal Travis is sent to investigate.
Led by the elusive Edgar Doyle, the carnival folk range from the enigmatic to the bizarre, but none of them will give Travis a straight answer to his questions. With each new turn of the investigation, Doyle and his companions challenge Travis's once unshakeable faith in solid facts and hard evidence.
As the consequences of what has happened become ever more disturbing, Travis struggles to open his mind to a truth that defies comprehension. Will he be able to convince himself that things are not what they seem? Or will he finally reconcile himself to a new reality - one that threatens to undermine everything in which he has ever placed his trust?
In this powerful, atmospheric thriller, bestselling author R.J. Ellory introduces the weird and wonderful world of the Carnival Diablo and reveals the dark secrets that lurk at its heart.

Condition: Muy bueno. : En 1959, en Kansas, un carnaval ambulante aparece de la noche a la mañana en la pequeña ciudad de Seneca Falls, intrigando a los habitantes con actos de magia e ilusión inexplicables. Pero cuando el cuerpo de un hombre es descubierto debajo del carrusel, sin ninguna pista sobre su identidad, el agente especial del FBI Michal Travis es enviado a investigar. Liderados por el esquivo Edgar Doyle, la gente del carnaval va de lo enigmático a lo extraño, pero ninguno de ellos le dará a Travis una respuesta directa a sus preguntas. Con cada nuevo giro de la investigación, Doyle y sus compañeros desafían la fe, antes inquebrantable, de Travis en hechos sólidos y pruebas contundentes. A medida que las consecuencias de lo sucedido se vuelven cada vez más inquietantes, Travis lucha por abrir su mente a una verdad que desafía la comprensión.
