Cirque

The year is 1851. When brutish Bernadette McCoy is found dead on the floor of her stately home’s billiard room, her demise is blamed on seven cats. However, the police chief believes the killer is a servant or Mrs. McCoy’s missing niece, Angelique. Then a second corpse is found in the carriage house. Ten months earlier, Sean Kelley attended the Cirque de Delices in Paris and watched Angelique Aumont perform on the high wire. He wanted her for his circus, and for his wife, but due to a misunderstanding, she departed for America to live with her aunt Bernadette. A colorful story of the American West.
