St. Paul’s Como Pavilion Players is a close-knit amateur troupe whose summer musical productions have long brought Ruth Carson and her friend Angie together. This season, the familiar backstage world takes on a dangerous dimension when a serial killer targets the cast. The mystery centers on the attacker’s identity and motive, while the troupe’s commitment to carrying on with the production leaves its members exposed to further danger. Theater, friendship, and a threatened community shape the book’s setup.
