The Killer Behind the Greasepaint
A Fear of Clowns: A Mystery and Suspence Dark Thriller

Jason Hadley has lost almost everything: his career, his marriage, his home, and the life he once believed was secure. Now he survives gig by gig as Joey the Clown, scraping together money and dignity while trying to stay sober and start over.
But the mask he wears for work is not the only mask in town. Behind the stage lights, party tricks, and greasepaint lies a darker world of secrets, resentment, and corruption. When Jason is drawn into a new performance opportunity connected to suspicious events in Las Vegas, old wounds and dangerous enemies begin to close in around him. The clown act that once helped him hide may become the only way to uncover the truth.
The Killer Behind the Greasepaint is a dark, character-driven mystery thriller with psychological tension, gritty humor, a damaged but compelling protagonist, and a suspense plot built around identity, survival, and justice.
