"An entertaining mystery . . . for fans of Blair Tindall's memoir Mozart in the Jungle and anyone who enjoys crime served up with an aria." —Library Journal

Opera singer Renata Radleigh has had a lifelong rivalry with her younger brother Don—but as much as he aggravates her, she doesn't think he's capable of murder . . .

Don was considered a star fundraiser for the Saint Louis Opera after procuring a last-minute underwriter for its avant-garde production of Carmen. But now he's been accused of seducing his donor to get the contribution—then killing her after her husband found out. His alleged victim, Dr. Helen Stromberg-Brand, had invented a vaccine that was expected to earn billions and win her a Nobel, and the scandal shocks St. Louis and pushes the opera company to the brink.

Renata's attempts to clear her brother lead to warnings of dismissal, threats of arrest, and a brutal assault. She finds an unexpected ally in a former journalist—and together they are about to discover a tangle of greed and vengefulness beyond any opera plot . . .

"Great fun as well as suspenseful." —St. Louis Magazine

"Linzee brings alive his city and its characters . . . Don't miss this one." —John Lutz, New York Times–bestselling author of Frenzy
