In a world of spectacle, one boy's truth could bring the house down. London, 1789. After a fire consumes the Theatre Royal, master showman Joseph Eliot is desperate to rebuild. His answer comes in the form of a strange, silent boy-his skin marked with tiger-like stripes-and a plan to turn curiosity into spectacle. As the boy is thrust into the limelight alongside a live tyger, audiences are captivated. But behind the applause, dark questions stir. Where did the boy come from? Why does he never speak? And what secret binds him to a powerful man with influence-and a motive to see him disappear? As the city whispers and danger mounts, someone is arrested for a crime they may not have committed. Rebecca must uncover the truth before the curtain falls-for the boy, for Joseph, and for herself
