Book excerpt: Clowns usually evoke happy childhood memories, but not for the citizens of Bauton Port. The very thought of the colorful smiles on their painted white faces would more likely evoke nightmares for these poor citizens. Two murderous clowns with nebulous identities are terrorizing the town with no apparent motive. The detectives assigned to the case are having trouble keeping up with the fast pace of the killings due to the lack of significant evidence. When one of the most intelligent investigators working the case goes missing at one of the crime scenes, the other detectives are spun into a chaotic web of deceit. The truth is clouded with betrayal, anger, and pain as the detectives struggle through loss and befuddlement to solve this earth-shattering case. With the pair of serial killers always one step ahead of the detectives, this thrilling tale becomes more suspenseful than a three-ring circus!
