Murder in Noir (A Max, Brad, and Maisie Mystery #3)
It seems as
if Max and Brad’s dreams of a career in acting have finally arrived. The duo
have been cast in the Broadway revival of that forties noir classic “Blood Fell
onto my Window Pane”. Even more exciting, the production has movie stars
Barrett Conover and his Italian wife Europa making their Broadway début. Max
has had a huge crush on the husband ever since he saw the actor in the classic
gay film “Going Tops for a Bottom”. As for Brad, he has been a fan of Europa
ever since he saw her in the French classic comedy “Buxom Babes for Balzac.”
The play also
has a rather lurid past. During its first run in 1948, two members of the
company were victims in an unsolved murder. Maisie soon convinces the boys it
would be fun to try and solve the decades old crime. What starts as a lark
however, suddenly takes a unexpected turn as evidence of a blackmail scheme is
revealed. Events soon turn deadly when the trio seeks to uncover who is being
blackmailed and, critically, who is behind it. Hidden scandals, an attempted
rape and murders both old and new are now part of the script for a, “Murder in
Noir”.
