Final Curtain Call: Exit Stage Left

"What is drama, after all, but life with the dull bits cut out?"

— Alfred Hitchcock

The spotlight can be a dangerous place to stand.

The grand restoration of a historic Brooklyn Heights theater was supposed to be a triumph for the Devereaux sisters. It even brought a long-awaited romance into Aunt Catherine's life with Barnaby Pemberton, the temperamental Juilliard veteran directing the production.

But rehearsals take a treacherous turn when legendary diva of film and stage, Sharon Stavros, becomes the target of a series of terrifying onstage "accidents"—and all fingers point straight to Barnaby. After all, he made the mistake of having a very public, very heated fight with the actress, who happens to be his demanding ex-wife.

Now, Dr. October Reign—lead archivist for the Center for Brooklyn History and amateur sleuth—must dive into the shadows of the ancient rigging. She has to unmask the real saboteur before a true tragedy strikes and the final curtain falls on Barnaby for good.

High in the fly-loft, someone is waiting for their final cue—and they don't plan to exit stage left!
