A Spark of Justice

A Circus Mystery

By: J.D. Hawkins

Narrated by: Matthew S Newbold

A fatal accident at the circus sparks an insurance investigation that leads John Nieves, a former New York cop, to a list of murder suspects. It seems that the Great Rollo, beloved of millions, had enemies...both at the circus and among his own family. All that is surreal and magical about the circus brings out Nieves' deepest fears, blinding him to the very real danger that is closer at hand. A bizarre series of revelations and coincidences keep Nieves' suspicions of the circus people high, even after the actual evidence suggests that the incident really was only an unfortunate accident. The furtive actions of Rollo's wife and brother, the beneficiaries of his insurance, lead Nieves into even dirtier family secrets. Apparent attempts on his life from all quarters threaten Nieves, but he refuses to drop the case until the whole truth of who killed the Great Rollo is revealed.

Plot Twister

This is a very in-depth story that takes an inquisitive mind of an investigator into the underground society of circus life behind the scenes. The main character is investigating an insurance claim for an accident resulting in the death of one of the performers and fights through dead end after dead end to get to the bottom whether or not the death was truly accidental. The story keeps you guessing with a collection of well developed characters.

The narration is done to perfection as he keeps up with the challenges of a multitude of characters by showing off a series of voices that help to keep those characters and their conversations easy to follow.

I highly recommend.
