Opening Night Knives

A 1920's New York Murder Mystery

When the glittering lights of Broadway dim for a moment too long, the shadows hide secrets darker than any script.

Reporter Bobbie Flynn finds herself thrust into the heart of danger after the attempted murder of theatre impresario Smiley Stanton.

On the opening night of a much-anticipated play, Smiley Stanton is mysteriously stabbed while sitting in the second row of the audience, sending shockwaves through the theatre community and beyond.

And that beyond includes the Mob, who own a major share in the theatre run by Smiley and who use it as a location for a high rolling craps game.

When Smiley is killed while lying in his hospital bed, Bobbie investigates with the help of her father, Inspector Flynn, a certain young detective called Nolan, and Private Investigator Dick Devenish.

Can Bobbie find the killer before the curtain falls on another victim?

They include real life historical figures from the period including Damon Runyon and Mafia men like Lucky Luciano and Arnold Rothstein. Perfect for readers who enjoy the feel of a cozy mystery without inappropriate on-the-page content.
