Behind the stage lights and word-perfect soliloquies, sinister secrets are lurking in the wings. The mysteries in this collection reveal the dark side to theatre: a world of backstage dealings, where unscrupulous actors risk everything to land a starring role, costumed figures lead to mistaken identities, and on-stage deaths begin to look a little too convincing...
This expertly curated thespian anthology features giants of the classic crime genre, including Dorothy L Sayers, Margery Allingham and Ngaio Marsh, as well as firm favourites from the British Library Crime Classics series: Julian Symons, Christianna Brand, Bernard J Farmer and many more.
Mysteries abound when a person's fate hangs on a single performance, and opening night may very well be their last.
