Quote from Neil Gaiman

"My guiltiest pleasure is Harry Stephen Keeler. He may been the greatest bad writer America has ever produced. Or perhaps the worst great writer. I do not know. There are few faults you can accuse him of that he is not guilty of. But I love him."

Synopsis

Noah Quindry is worried. An arsonist is striking the towns that his travelling circus visits and it may be one of his employees! On top of that, some madman -- perhaps the arsonist? -- is stealing instances of the letter "U" from signs, billboards, letters, even the tattooed chest of Screamo the Clown. It’s one of Harry and Hazel Keeler’s wackiest mysteries ever.
