Ten years after he escaped death at Daemons' Roost, Jonathan Creek has returned to his roots as a creative consultant to the stage magician, Adam Klaus. Joining them on tour is a Czech illusionist called Jana Kablitsky. But someone – or something – else has come with her to London’s Acropolis theatre. One of Jana’s jaded former lovers is stalking her, while the haunting figure of a Hell Hag is prowling the West End stage and threatening to bring the production to its knees.Meanwhile, Jonathan is reunited with his former sparring partner, Maddy Magellan, the one-time investigative journalist who’s back from America. Together, Jonathan and Maddy must expose the identity of the vicious killer and deduce how an assassin can disappear through an open window without being seen by a guard on the other side, or leaving a single footprint in the freshly laid snow.The Fantom of the Acropolis is a theatrical script from the macabre and masterful mind of David Renwick. Set a decade after the last onscreen Jonathan Creek adventure, it was written for a stage show to complement the television series incorporating some of its funniest moments. Expect monsters, sirens, vampires and mind-boggling howdunnits.
