Simon & Schuster, 2006. Hardcover. Fine. 1ST EDITION, 1ST PRINT. Book in FINE/ FINE condition. SIGNED, 1ST LINED & DATED (4th Sept 2006) BY AUTHOR TO HALF-TITLE PAGE. Synopsis On a blustery October night, the Circus Oscuro came to town. It was clear from the start that this was no ordinary circus. They did not roll into town with fanfares and cartwheeling clowns. Instead, they came in the dead of night, when all the townspeople were asleep.
