En tonårsflicka och hennes föräldrar dör i en bilolycka. Tragedin leder till att en mörk hemlighet om flickans verkliga härkomst avslöjas, och fram växer en komplex barnhandelshärva. Den sträcker sig över decennier, och i centrum står någon som kallar sig för Illusionisten. Greta Leikler är tillbaka på cirkusen när hon får ett erbjudande av säkerhetsbolaget VASA:s chef Victoria Adriani: Hjälp oss att hitta en person från ditt förflutna, så ska vi hjälpa dig att finna ditt barn. Det barn Greta alltid har trott dog kort efter födseln. Men ju närmare de kommer Illusionisten, desto mer förödande blir konsekvenserna. När en person kopplad till barnhandeln hittas mördad inser Greta att tiden håller på att rinna ut. Illusionisten är fast besluten att utplåna alla spår efter sig. Vi får här ta del av en katt-och-råtta-jakt som höjer pulsen och manar till sträckläsning. Det är tempofylld och engagerande läsning, med cirkusprinsessan Greta Leikler i hjärtat av spänningen.
