About this ebook

A spectacular West End musical, a glamorous leading man, and a series of disturbing accidents that may be anything but accidental. When actor Charles Paris is offered a role in a touring production of Lumpkin!, he sees an opportunity for steady work and a chance to return to the stage. But there is another reason he has been hired: someone wants him to investigate what is happening behind the scenes.

The production is already plagued by trouble. A stage accident has left Mark Spelthorne dead, other incidents have raised serious suspicions, and the people involved seem strangely reluctant to discuss what they know. With a major financial investment riding on the show's success, the pressure to keep everything running is enormous. Yet Charles begins to suspect that someone is deliberately putting lives at risk.

As he gets closer to the truth, the danger becomes increasingly personal. Rivalries, hidden histories, theatrical egos, and a celebrated star's carefully guarded past all become part of a puzzle that grows more sinister with every performance.

But in a theatre, appearances can be deceiving—and the most dangerous trap may be the one nobody in the audience can see.

A gripping and witty British mystery filled with backstage secrets, theatrical tension, and a deadly question: who is prepared to kill to make the show go on?

A spectacular West End musical, a glamorous leading man, and a series of disturbing accidents that may be anything but accidental. When actor Charles Paris is offered a role in a touring production of Lumpkin!, he sees an opportunity for steady work and a chance to return to the stage. But there ...
