It Happens in the Dark (A Mallory Novel)

About this book

The reviews called it A Play to Die For after a woman was found dead in the front row. It didnt seem so funny the next night when another body was foundthis time the playwright himself his throat slashed. Detective Kathy Mallory of the NYPD Special Crimes Unit takes over but isnt getting a straight answer from anyone. Not the lead actor a movie star fallen on hard luck; not the lead actress a nervous sort with a dependence on pharmaceuticals; not even the wardrobe mistress working under an alias; and certainly not the twin actors so unnervingly convincing playing psychos. Now backstage someone has left Mallory a message on the blackboard: Tonights the night. Nothing personal. It appears that she is being written into the play itself a play about a long-ago massacre that may not be fictional after all. If Mallory can find out whos responsible heads will roll. Unfortunately one of them might be her own.
