In Ten-In-One: A Circus Salmagundi Anthology (Fox and Bee Studio $11.12) by Kim Bannerman, background characters from a British Columbia-based mystery series take center stage, sharing their unique stories rooted in history. From a doomed expedition haunted by a strange affliction in a frozen ocean, to a mysterious creature stalking the forests near a fur-trading post, each tale offers a glimpse into the folklore, disasters and ghost stories of British Columbia and beyond. The anthology spans mining disasters in Nanaimo, capsized boats in Puget Sound, and grotesque taxidermy in Alberta. As the Circus Salmagundi tours Vancouver Island, its eclectic crew provides fascinating insights into the mysteries that both help and hinder Miss Rose in solving crimes. 9781998567003
