Curtain Call for Death

In the golden age of Hollywood, Jameson Hart is America's sweetheart-a dashing, blue-eyed film star with golden hair, a killer smile, and the leading man in every woman's fantasy. But the only woman who has ever truly had his heart is Clara Hart-his radiant, devoted wife. A graceful, brilliant Black woman with a warm laugh and a sharp intuition, Clara is the anchor of their quiet life at home with their 3-year-old son, David.
While the tabloids speculate on co-star romances and secret scandals, Jameson remains the picture-perfect family man, attending red carpets by night and making pancakes for Clara and David in the mornings. But their picture-perfect world begins to crack when tragedy strikes the silver screen.
One by one, the leading ladies of Jameson's recent films are found murdered-each discovered in their dressing rooms with a single, eerie calling card: a set prop from the film they starred in with Jameson. A perfume bottle, a bloodied script, a broken vanity mirror. The scenes are staged with obsessive detail.
The city is in a panic. Whispers circle. Reporters flock. Suspicion sharpens.
And Jameson Hart is the prime suspect.
Though the public begins to doubt him, Clara never does. Not for a moment. Fiercely loyal and quietly brilliant, Clara begins her own quiet investigation alongside the police detective assigned to the case. Her instincts tell her that someone is watching them. That the killer is playing a game-a dangerous script leading to a final scene.
The murders grow closer to home. The clues are more theatrical. Clara discovers a chilling pattern in the killer's timing and realizes the next victim is already marked.
