But in the midst of the excitement lurks the dark news of accidents that have followed one of the circus stars, the Great Roberto. Why is someone trying to hurt him? What is the secret of the diamonds? Who is the runaway clown? How does danger follow not only the circus people, but also Kate and Tina? And why does Kate need to make a life-changing choice?
