With a genius IQ, a past career as a circus acrobat, and a black belt in karate, criminology professor Dr. Robert Frederickson—better known as "Mongo the Magnificent"—has a decidedly unusual background for a private investigator. He also just so happens to be a dwarf. Mongo's days as a professional acrobat are long over, but when he learns his former boss is down on his luck—and the circus has been sold—he heads to Florida to rally his fellow ex-performers to help buy back the spectacle they once called home. With seductive snake charmer Harper Rhys-Whitney in tow, Mongo sets out to make a deal with the traveling show's mysterious new owners. But when they track down the talented troupe in America's heartland, Mongo and Harper discover something has shifted under the big top: A string of grisly murders dots the circus's route, causing local tabloids to cry "Werewolf!" Now, if he wants to save his old gig, Mongo will have to get back in the center ring to figure out what's been going bump in the night . . . The Fear in Yesterday's Rings is the 10th book in the Mongo Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

An ex-circus performer-PhD-black belt-midget turns detective. Genius.

What more could you want!? Brilliant fun. Recommended to me by a friend. Now I want to read them all. It is light-handedly hard-boiled, and contains all the things you expect: mystery, danger, derring-do, beautiful women, and a heroic sidekick. It also has quite a few dangerous animals.

Works at One Level

Chesbro consistently does one thing superbly and one thing terribly. He writes some of the best thrillers I have ever read--sparkling first-person narratives usually told by his dwarf P.I., Robert Frederickson, PhD, AKA "Mongo the Magnificent." Sadly, the thing he does terribly is his McGuffin. At least three times in four, Mongo discovers that the US civil service has run amok and is doing something both illegal and contrary to the best interests of the United States. No matter how many times he thwarts and exposes this sort of thing, it keeps right on happening--in a manner frankly incredible to anyone who has watched the US government actually try to keep a secret. This is no exception.

That said, I'd rate this the second-best Mongo book of all time, as he goes back to his circus roots and investigates skullduggery under the Big Top. If you can accept the McGuffin, it's got lions and tigers and elephants, Mongo on the trapeze, hairsbreadth escapes and maybe even true love. Go for it!

Fun, crazy story. Bad editing

The book is fun and over-the-top. It's much less political than some of his others, which I liked. However, the editing on this book is terrible! Talk of people being strung out on "drags" and so many missing quotation marks. It made the story a bit hard to follow in places and definitely distracted from the adventure.
