The Carnival of Death - Mystery
In the movie The Big Sleep, Bogart as Philip Marlowe follows a trail of decadence and murder on the dark side of L.A. But even that pales in comparison to the freak show found by undercover US narcotics agent Bob Clark . . . in The Carnival of Death. Clark's investigation begins with cocaine and leads to two headless corpses. Who is behind the slaughter?
There are plenty of distractions-bright lights and beautiful girls-but Clark better find the murderers fast. Because the next head that rolls could be his own. Includes: "The Death Flyer"
"This horror/mystery tale roars to life through the kaleidoscopic auditory fabric of its carnival setting." -Library Journal
