Clown Fatale

Pages : 114
Book Description
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.
