- Synopsis
- On the cusp of the twentieth century, Manhattan is a lively metropolis buzzing with talent. But after a young soprano meets an untimely end on stage, can one go-getting leading lady hit the right notes in a case of murder? New York City, 1899. When it comes to show business, Gilded Age opera singer Ella Shane wears the pants. The unconventional diva breaks the mold by assuming &“trouser roles&”—male characters played by women—and captivating audiences far and wide with her travelling theatre company. But Ella&’s flair for the dramatic takes a terrifying turn when an overacting Juliet to her Romeo drinks real poison during the final act of Bellini&’s I Capuleti e i Montecchi. Weeks after the woman&’s death is ruled a tragic accident, a mysterious English duke arrives in Greenwich Village on a mission. He&’s certain someone is getting away with murder, and the refined aristocrat won&’t travel back across the Atlantic until Ella helps him expose the truth. As Ella finds herself caught between her craft and a growing infatuation with her dashing new acquaintance, she&’s determined to decode the dark secrets surrounding her co-star&’s fatale finale—before the lights go dark and the culprit appears for an encore . . . [Author Photo] Kathleen Marple Kalb lives with her family in Cheshire, Connecticut. She&’s currently a weekend morning anchor at New York's 1010WINS Radio, capping a career she began as a teenage DJ in rural Western Pennsylvania. She&’s currently working on the next Ella Shane historical mystery. Visit us at www.kensingtonbooks.com
