{"product_id":"9781503951792","title":"The Dark Circus by David Zaplana","description":"Seeing is believing in the Dark Circus, where truth and illusion collide, and where the heart of a holy conspiracy pounds.At an art auction in Madrid, El?as Segado, a religious art appraiser and detective, is getting ready to secure a painting for the bishop of Cartagena. But in a brilliant sleight of hand, the iconic work is stolen, drawing El?as into the confidence of its corrupt and seductive thief.   Her name is L. Raised by her uncle in a threadbare circus, she lived by the twisted rules of the carnies she grew up with. Exploited for public awe, and ritually abused for private pleasure, L came to endure all that was encouraged by the circus's perverted sense of righteousness. Debauchery is the only thing she trusts. But behind the curtains of the Dark Circus is a greater secret to be avenged. And she needs El?as Segado to help expose it.   As their worlds of sacrilege and devotion collide, so do temptation and indulgence-and a faith in both good and evil, where morality is just another illusion. But to survive the mystery, El?as must also dare to accept something more shattering: everything he and L have in common.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56302088126837,"sku":"9781503951792","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781503951792.jpg?v=1762792249","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781503951792","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
