a great book: being and acrobat performing with Cirque du Soleil, as well as a big fan of science fiction, I've found this book to be one of the most accurate interpretations of the life of an acrobat. some authors seem to have no clue, but Rosenberg does a very convincing job...

Two murders, one of which is a locked room mystery. Set in a fantasy world where people have roles set by their family inheritance and what their inborn ability lets them do. Everyone has the ability to excel in a slightly magical way in a skill.
It's an interesting story about a man finding a role in his world and the murderer of his sister particularly when he becomes the probable suspect for his love rivals' murder himself. ( )
