There are forty feet of it, and at the end is a dead body, swinging from the longest noose the Island detective has ever seen.

A newlywed, he had been married only ten days on the night he died, and his widow insists he was too happy to end it all. But who would strangle a sharpshooter? Finding out will take Gar into the underbelly of a traveling circus—and may put his own neck on the line.
