A murderous, charismatic theatre owner . . . and a deadly new role...

''Suspense enough to spare'' NEW YORK TIMES

''A fantastic recommendation for readers who enjoy classic Hitchcockian thrillers'' BOOKLIST


When Rosaleen Wright was found hanging, a note beside her body, the police are sure it is suicide. But her best friend Jane cannot believe it. Rosaleen was full of vitality and wit - and the note had no signature. Instead, Jane suspects Rosaleen''s boss, New York theatre impresario Luther Grandison.

Grandison is rich, powerful and charismatic, but Rosaleen''s letters to Jane show a completely different man. One who is duplicitous, greedy - and dangerous. A man who would kill to protect his secrets.

Jane is determined to find out the truth - and takes the ultimate risk when she gets a job with Grandison''s company, and finds herself up against one of Broadway''s deadliest actors in a desperate play for the truth.
