Did you believe writing was a safe pastime? It was scarcely the first time that bestselling author Sheila Armstrong had died on stage, but it would most certainly be the last. DCI Alex Warren and his girlfriend, DI Sandra McKinnon, return from a short holiday, but hardly manage to step from the plane before he’s called to investigate the suspicious death. Sheila, a member of Eastfarm Writers, has been stabbed to death on stage in a school, during a rehearsal of a play she’d written. Her death mimics the plot. Within hours, Sandra is roped into investigating a series of crimes which appear to be mob-related. As the enquiries run in parallel, they struggle to make progress while supporting each other, both professionally and emotionally.
