The evidence against her is scant but the tight knit community believes carnies to be nothing more than gypsies, tramps, and thieves. After the carnival leaves town, Cozbi's best friend and co-worker, Jason Muir stays behind to defend her. In the process of solving the mystery, he discovers Cozbi's manipulative and duplicitous nature and learns how blind loyalty comes with a steep price. Cover photo credit: Shutterstock/Kisto
