They abandon their dilapidated travelling circus to try and make their fortune. But they quickly find out that to prove themselves in the world of big-contract killers, they must co-operate or face the consequences - not something they are always prepared to do. Clown Fatale is escapist fun at its absolute finest, filled with high-octane action sequences, daring disguises and buckets of face-paint. Gischler's creation is seedy, violent and unforgiving, but never fails to be stylish and colourful.

Sexy female clowns are mistaken for contract killers and abandon their shabby traveling circus for a world of violence and cruelty-with clown makeup. * Featuring covers by Tim Seeley (_Hack/Slash_, _Revival_) * By Victor Gischler (_Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Spike-A Dark Place, Punisher MAX, X-Men)_! "[Victor Gischler]'s proven . . . to be a writer that can balance humor, drama and action in an entertaining, fast paced package."�Bleeding Cool

As our world unites against invaders from beyond the stars, beneath the Atlantic Ocean, another mysterious craft prompts a top-secret investigation by the US military, one which could prove the key to humanity's survival... or its ultimate destruction.

There's been a murder at the Clown Bar. It's a place where underground clown crime syndicates battle for top billing, and a gunshot ends in a bleeding stream of confetti. The rules are strict, the jokes are dark, and the best way to serve a cocktail is to "make it funny." It's a year later and the Clown Bar is in disrepair. Happy has gone missing. Has he been offed by clown cowboy Brigham Bill or was it an inside job? Two cops who knew Happy when he was on the force go undercover as clowns in the Clown Bar to find out what happened. Knowledge of the preceding show is not required to enjoy this sequel. In the words of the playwright, "look, if you didn't see/read the original Clown Bar, that's fine. You'll still understand the play."

One of the rarest mysteries in the author's Sergeant Beef series, Case with Four Clowns, which has only been published once in the US—more than fifty years ago - is now available in paperback for the first time. It is regarded by critics as one of Leo Bruce's most baffling mysteries. A murder is yet to be committed—that much is certain—but who will be the victim? And who will be the murderer? It is Sgt. Beef's job to discover these facts, if he can, in time to prevent the deed from being done. But when he reaches the small traveling circus where the murder is to take place, he finds that practically everyone there is seething with hatred, each has a motive which might make him a killer; and any one of a dozen people could easily be the victim. The doughty Sgt. Beef has broken some pretty tough cases, and this one—with mystery entagled within mystery—stirs the bulldog within him. The clues are there, but unless the reader is very astute, he or she will overlook them; but Sgt. Beef misses nothing.
