Some people are afraid of clowns. Sometimes you should be afraid of clowns:

Whit Howland once again takes us into the noir world of the circus, where the only human is one of the police duo who seems to want to pin the puppet murders on Dusk.

The Case of the Sad Luck Dame by Whit Howland

Huey Dusk, the clown detective, is back. This time Sadie Trophet, a client and brief lover, is murdered in front of him. Her death sets off a mystery, which then turns into a conspiracy involving shady corporations and sexy super spies.

More blood, guts and grease paint from the world of crazy mimes, man-children and corrupt clown cops in this tawdry tale of circus noir. A novelette.
