Come One, Come All - M.K. Milligan

Ace Donahue has always craved the center ring. Past his prime and desperate for relevance, he's bought one for himself - Trentini's Traveling Circus. But he's gutted seventy-five years of family legacy and now wears the Ringmaster's coat.

The name? Changed. The safety nets? Fraying. The most beloved animals? Disappeared.

The performers suffer. The audiences dwindle. The sawdust learns to absorb more than sweat.

Until Theo Crane - one of Ace's most vocal critics - decides that the best way to dismantle a fraud is from the inside.

"They simply can't fathom your genius, sir."

Everyone knows Ace is dangerous. Everyone knows he's unraveling. But Theo Crane knows... the show must go on.

A dark fable of raw ambition, quiet complicity, and the fall that everyone sees coming but no one tries to stop.
