The Carnival of Death by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard is another one of his vintage pulp mystery/thrillers (with a bonus extra story) in the Stories from the Golden Age series offered by Galaxy Press, LLC, which is some kind of quote-unquote "independent" subsidiary of the Church with absolutely no propagandist purpose whatsoever, or so they claim.

Description
Discover intrigue and suspense. Working deep undercover to break up a purported drug ring operating at Shreve's Mammoth Carnival, US narcotics agent Bob Clark discovers first one and then another headless body. Others believe the gruesome murders are solved after four tribal headhunters working for the show suddenly disappear, but Clark suspects someone else is the real killer. When he finds himself seized by the very same headhunters, Clark sincerely hopes his hunch is right, since the point of a very sharp knife is aimed at his neck!
