A dazzling star. A deadly encore. A love tested by murder.
Lancashire, 1862. Beneath the flickering gaslights of the Hippodrome Music Hall, Maggie Chadwick captivates audiences with her voice-even as her abusive husband and manager controls every part of her life. Trapped between the stage and her shackles, Maggie's dreams are fading fast.
But when she draws the attention of Edouard Deschanel, a wealthy department store owner, a dangerous new possibility emerges. Enchanted by her spirit and beauty, Edouard becomes her most devoted patron, sparking a forbidden connection Maggie can't ignore.
When her husband publicly clashes with Edouard, the feud turns deadly. Fred Chadwick is found garroted backstage, and suspicion falls squarely on Maggie and her new admirer. Now Inspector Halliwell's investigation threatens not only their reputations, but also their fragile hope for freedom and love.
With scandal tightening around them, Maggie and Edouard must unmask the killer before the final curtain falls-or risk losing everything to a murderer's hand.
