Description
For the inaugural performance at the newly opened Sheridan Center for the Performing Arts in Chicago, the organizers have brought in a much-discussed new staging of Carmen. Even though it has been sold out for weeks, Emily Charters and a friend have secured tickets for the opening night performance. Despite widespread rumors of back-stage troubles, the performance goes off without a hitch - up until the climatic scene when the actor playing Don Jose dies onstage. It is soon evident that the show more actor didn't die of natural causes and Jeremy Ransom, a Detective with the Chicago Police Department and friend of Emily Charters, is assigned the case. But as he quickly discovers, there is no lack of potential suspects. Between the out of control opera company diva, intrigues between the opera company cast, dubious financial situation of the company, not to mention the behind-the-scenes drama at the Sheridan Center itself, Ransom is facing his most complex case yet. show lessTags

From Booklist
Hunter's latest in the series featuring Chicago Detective Jeremy Ransom revolves around the death of a tenor. Apparently dead from respiratory arrest but probably poisoned, Riccardo Nuevo may not even be the intended victim, since cast and crew liked him as opposed to the titanically-egoed diva, tempestuous mezzo-soprano Maria Cortez. With virtually all cast and crew members eager to throttle her, as well as a gay couple secretly administering the funding and operations of the theater, the suspects for both murderer and victim must take a number and stand in line in this vibrant and colorful brainteaser.
