About this eBook
A murderous, charismatic theatre owner . . . and a deadly new role...
'Suspense enough to spare' NEW YORK TIMES
'A fantastic recommendation for readers who enjoy classic Hitchcockian thrillers' BOOKLIST
When Rosaleen Wright was found hanging, a note beside her body, the police are sure it is suicide. But her best friend Jane cannot believe it. Rosaleen was full of vitality and wit - and the note had no signature. Instead, Jane suspects Rosaleen's boss, New York theatre impresario Luther Grandison.
Grandison is rich, powerful and charismatic, but Rosaleen's letters to Jane show a completely different man. One who is duplicitous, greedy - and dangerous. A man who would kill to protect his secrets.
Jane is determined to find out the truth - and takes the ultimate risk when she gets a job with Grandison's company, and finds herself up against one of Broadway's deadliest actors in a desperate play for the truth.

About the author
Charlotte Armstrong (1905-1969) was an Edgar Award-winning American author of mystery short stories and novels. Born and raised in the mining region of Michigan's Upper Peninsula, she moved to New York and received a B.A. degree from Barnard in 1925. She had two plays produced on Broadway but neither was successful, so she turned to writing mystery fiction. Several of her novels were adapted for film, including The Unsuspected and The Chocolate Cobweb.
