Murder in the Pit

In the rarefied world of New York's Metropolitan Opera, talented young violinist Julia Kogan is about to launch into her debut performance when the unthinkable happens: her mentor, world-famous opera conductor Abel Trudeau, is felled from the podium by an assassin's bullet. Despite her grief, she must pull herself together to find the real killer when Sidney Richter, her closest colleague in the orchestra, is unjustly accused of Abel's murder. Teaming up with NYPD detective Larry Somers, Julia probes the back stairways and hidden corners of the opera house, only to find that a bee's nest of intrigue and peril lies beneath the glittering exterior of the venerable institution. Danger awaits Julia onstage, in the wings, and in the pit, as scenery crashes down beside her and threatening notes are left on her music. In the end, only her quick wits and her instinct for survival can save her.
