The eighth Auguste Didier mystery.
It''s 1902 and Auguste Didier finds himself reluctantly recruited for a week''s work at the Old King Cole music hall in the East End.

But when other more sinister omens occur, Auguste begins to sense real danger - and Will Lamb dies on stage in front of his eyes. The search is on for a killer - and it has to be someone who''s had access to the props.
