"Karl Shaw has delivered a riveting read, weaving together the
extraordinary biography of George Sanger - Britain's answer to PT
Barnum - alongside the Edwardian investigation into his tragic and
violent demise. With twists and turns along the way, and providing
a unique insight into Victorian and Edwardian Britain, Shaw takes
us into a dark story of murder and deceit with verve and insight
backed with thorough research."John Woolf, author of The Wonders:

rings of Victorian showmanship ... compelling." Literary Review
