Murder takes center stage when a song-and-dance man is targeted, in an Albert Campion whodunit from �the best of mystery writers� (The New Yorker).
 
When entertainer Jimmy Sutane falls victim to a string of malicious practical jokes, there�s only one man who can get to the bottom of the apparent vendetta against the music hall darling�gentleman sleuth Albert Campion. Soon, however, the backstage pranks escalate, and an aging starlet is killed.
 
Under pressure to uncover the culprit and plagued by his growing feelings for Sutane�s wife, Campion finds himself uncomfortably embroiled in an investigation which tests his ingenuity�and integrity�to the limit.
