The Everliving Memory of John Valentine

The circus is in town…   When a ten-year-old girl turns up on DCI Ryan’s doorstep to tell him she’s witnessed a murder, he has no idea he’s about to step into his most spellbinding case yet. The circus has rolled into Newcastle upon Tyne, bringing with it a troupe of daring acrobats, magicians, jugglers—and one of them is a killer.   Ryan and his team must break through their closed ranks to uncover a secret which has lain buried for eight years, before the killer strikes again—this time, to silence the only living witness…   Murder and mystery are peppered with romance and humour in this fast-paced crime whodunnit set amidst the spectacular Northumbrian landscape.   “LJ Ross keeps company with the best mystery writers” – The Times   “A literary phenomenon” – Evening Chronicle
