<DIV><DIV><b>In Manila, a circus performer commits what appears to be a very strange suicide</b></div><DIV><BR>Jo Gar leans over the railing and watches the rope dangle above the bay. 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. The Filipino police rule the death a suicide, but Gar is not convinced that a man would choose such a long rope to end his life.</div><DIV><BR>The dead man, Gar learns, was a sharpshooter, who closed each night&rsquo;s performance by climbing a rope and shooting targets along the way.

Finding out will take Gar into the underbelly of a traveling circus&mdash;and may put his own neck on the line.</div><DIV></div></div><p>In Manila, a circus performer commits what appears to be a very strange suicide</p><p>Jo Gar leans over the railing and watches the rope dangle above the bay.
