The Day the Circus came to Stickleback Hollow

A spate of seemingly petty thefts sees a circus in hot water, but her ladyship thinks there is more to it than meets the eye. Can she prove the circus people innocent and find the culprit on her own or will the real criminal escape justice?

Lady Sarah has never seen a travelling circus before, but the exotic animals are not what is drawing her to explore the big top. Stickleback Hollow has a thief with sticky fingers, who seems to be running around stealing the most mundane and bizarre things. Her mind full of conspiracy, Lady Sarah thinks that there is a pattern to the thefts. But is she seeing a plot where none exists?

But the police are after more than just a thief. One of the circus performers is wanted for more than petty theft, but the fearless peeress is determined to find the real perpetrators of his crimes. Can Lady Sarah discover who the real culprits are before an innocent man has to suffer, or will he spend the rest of his life in jail?
