Settings for this intriguing international murder-mystery include Hong Kong, Paris, and finally Barcelona; there, protagonist Danny Woo, who's left the Mysterium traveling-circus family, investigates gruesome killings, a notorious gang, and a mysterious woman in green--all while reliving suppressed memories of his deceased circus-performer parents (The Black Dragon).
