Synopsis: When the husband of an actress sips a poisoned potable, Lawrence Sanders&’s beloved Palm Beach PI must stage an investigation from his director&’s chair. One of the most celebrated stars of Hollywood&’s Golden Age, Desdemona Darling, has come South for the season. She makes headlines when she agrees to star in the Palm Beach Community Theater&’s production of Arsenic and Old Lace. Archy McNally somehow gets roped into directing—and into discreetly investigating who could be blackmailing his star. Life tragically imitates art when Richard Holmes—Darling&’s Husband Number Seven—sips some elderberry wine laced with arsenic at the cast party. Holmes was a self-made millionaire with a genius for betting on pork bellies. But who&’d want him dead? As McNally tries to smoke out the culprit, he wonders if he&’s getting too close to a remorseless killer who&’s about to drop the curtain on another victim.
