Synopsis
"A humorous, heartfelt historical novel that captures the gritty, absurd, and tight-knit world of the 1970s circus." - Brendan McKelvy, Foreword Reviews
How do you make an elephant disappear?
In 1974, the King Minos Circus is struggling to survive-until Christos "King" Minos unveils a dazzling new illusion: a vanishing elephant act starring Henrietta, the animal he loves more fiercely than he can admit.
But when Henrietta disappears during a parade, the trick becomes something far more dangerous.
Suspicion falls on Minos's estranged daughter, Randi-an activist who has vowed to free the circus elephants-and on Ainge, the circus's newest clown, a young man still haunted by his father's rejection after learning he is gay. Minos feels betrayed by both and vows to recover Henrietta and bring those responsible to justice.
But are Randi and Ainge the villains Minos imagines? Their journey across the American West-through small towns, roadside shows, and shifting loyalties-forces them all to confront hard questions about family, freedom, and who truly belongs to whom.
Because in the end, the fate of Henrietta may not belong to the circus at all.
