So, he with the circus in which he works traipses off on a European tour - objective:Crau, his homeland.

Ý

Excerpt:

A pair of giant hands reached under [the driver's] armpits, plucked him from his seat as if he were a puppet and deposited him on the floor of the van.

Manuelo applied adhesive to the unfortunate driver's mouth and then set about fixing a blindfold. He said: 'I am grieved that we should have to treat an innocent citizen in this manner.'

'Agreed, agreed.' Kan Dahn shook his head sadly and tightened the last knot on their victim's wrists. 'But the greatest good of the greatest number. Besides,' he said hopefully, he may not be an innocent citizen'

Ý

Miscellany:

Circus was the first Alistair MacLean I ever read. When my sisters deemed me ready, they unanimously suggested it. So for ever and ever I always suggest Circus first instinctively.
