Come children, come children from far and near. Come choose your steed, you galloping knights, to enjoy the fun of the carousel . . .
Paris, 1914
Detective Laurent Bisset has reluctantly closed a most puzzling case. Fairgoers have been vanishing while riding a dazzling carousel. The only man who could be responsible is behind bars – but Laurent cannot explain what happened to those missing.
Chicago, 1920
Maisie Marlowe acquires a beautiful, antique carousel, and sets up the Silver Kingdom amusement park. It is a place of delight and wonder – until a child goes missing on its most famous ride.
When rumours of the Chicago disappearance reach Laurent, he crosses the Atlantic in search of new answers to an old mystery.
Together, can he and Maisie uncover the carousel’s secret before it claims another?
