The theater is no place for murder-but a case of backstage betrayal drags library director Amy Webber into a case that could mean curtains in critically acclaimed author Victoria Gilbert' s Blue Ridge Library mystery. It' s early summer, and while Richard Muir and his dance partner, Karla, are preparing their new choreographic piece, Richard' s wife, Amy, is gathering the dance' s source materials. Based on folktales and the music of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the production is set to premiere at an old cinema that has been converted to a theater. But when dancer Meredith Fox-Richard' s former fiance-is found dead backstage, Amy is once again propelled into a murder case that threatens the careers and lives of those she loves. After Amy teams up with Chief Deputy Brad Tucker and the sheriff' s department to discover the killer, they find that there' s no shortage of suspects- Meredith' s wealthy ex-husband, several fellow dancers, a romantically spurned accompanist, and others whom the talented but haughty dancer dismissed or betrayed over the years. With Richard and Karla' s help, and information gleaned from locals who know a wealth of small-town secrets, Amy desperately tries to unveil the killer before the premiere. But she' s pursuing a ruthless murderer who' s willing to kill again-and who might just be waiting for Amy in the wings.
