The Curtain Rises on Murder
When renowned conductor Gregory Palmer is crushed beneath a falling chandelier during rehearsals for "The Phantom of the Opera," Curtain Falls artistic director Thea Martinelli finds herself center stage in a real-life murder mystery. As threatening notes signed "O.G." begin appearing throughout the theater, Thea discovers Palmer was searching for a long-lost musical manuscript that could rewrite Broadway history—and someone was willing to kill to keep it buried.
With opening night rapidly approaching, Thea must untangle a web of musical clues and theatrical deception spanning three generations. The mysterious soprano Isabelle Laurent seems to hold the key to the manuscript's location, but her connection to the murdered conductor runs deeper than anyone suspects.
In a small town where Broadway exiles reinvent themselves to escape their pasts, Thea races to unmask a killer before the final curtain falls. But in the world of theater, everyone wears masks, and the most dangerous performances happen offstage. The show must go on—even when murder waits in the wings.
