About this eBook

The truth gets contorted when acrobats become suspects…

An idyllic Hawaiian retreat turns deadly for a group of performers and designers when their director is found stabbed to death in the forest. It will be up to Pari Malik and her assistant, Campbell, to unravel the tangled web of intrigue and circus politics to discover the true culprit.

They’ll maneuver to expose shocking secrets, hidden agendas, and veiled truths. The intricate personal relationships of the troupe complicate matters, as does the ultra-modern glass dome lodging they’re all housed in. The sudden appearance of ancient Hawaiian daggers only makes matters worse.

 

And when a brazen accusation from the main suspect puts Pari’s reputation at risk, it’s a race against the clock to uncover the true murderer (or murderers) and see them brought to justice.

 

"Lurking on the High Wire” is a clever and captivating novel, the fourth in the Pari Malik mystery series. It can be read as a stand-alone book or as part of the series.
