Publisher Description

"Fine picture of period vice, good mystery plotting, and fun." —San Francisco Chronicle A sadistic practical joker is haunting the popular music halls of London, interfering with the actors and interrupting their acts by orchestrating humiliating disasters that take place in view of the audience. A trapeze artist misses her timing when the trapeze ropes are shortened. A comedian who invites the audience to sing along with him finds the words of his song "shamefully" altered. Mustard has been applied to a sword swallower's blade. A singer's costume has been rigged. The girl in a magician's box is trapped. Then the mischief escalates to murder. Or was murder intended all along? That indomitable detective team, Sergeant Cribb and Constable Thackeray of Scotland Yard, must track down the elusive criminal.

"It's hard to go wrong with Peter Lovesey. He is so consistently good. This is a Sergeant Crib-- very Victorian, very atmospheric. "

    " Like all of Lovesey's Cribb and Thackeray novels, this book is pure fun. This time around, our Scotland Yard detectives are after a prankster who is targeting performers in 19th century music halls. Will they find their man? And will the pranks escalate to MURDER? "
