It's no rest for the wicked when Kate Shackleton picks up her second professional sleuthing case. But exposing the culprit of a pawn-shop robbery turns sinister when her investigation takes her to the wealthy neighborhoods of Harrogate - and murder is only one step behind. A night at the theater should have been just what the doctor ordered, until Kate stumbles across a body in the doorway. The knife sticking out of its chest definitely suggests a killer in the theatre's midst. Kate likes nothing better than a mystery - except solving it. So when a ransom note demands GBP1,000 for the safe return of the play's leading lady, Kate must piece together clues - and lure criminals out of their lairs.

"Kate Shackleton is the kind of person I would like to sit down to have tea with. I really liked A Medal for Murder. You think it's ending and then there's another twist, and another. The characters are wonderful. I will read more of Francis Brody's books."
