About this audiobook
At Chicago's opera house, stolen jewelry leads to murder—and a conspiracy that turns society's elite into unwilling criminals.
When Mrs. Ashford's diamonds vanish during La Traviata, private investigators Kit and Paddy discover insurance investigator Harrison Webb dead among the costumes. He was killed for exposing a blackmail scheme that forces desperate society women to fake thefts while laundering money through the opera's accounts.
With corrupt police protecting the operation and a killer preparing for another "accident," Kit must infiltrate her former world while Paddy confronts the criminal networks that destroyed his career. As opening night approaches, they race to save lives and expose the mastermind conducting this deadly performance.
In 1920s Chicago, everyone wears a mask. But when the curtain falls, murder takes center stage.
