Death and the Assassin's Blade

In this gripping mystery, the summer staging of Julius Caesar turns deadly when an actor, Gordon Mason, collapses on stage, seemingly the victim of an unfortunate accident involving theatrical props. Detective Inspector Tremayne and his sergeant, Clare Yarwood, arrive to investigate a cast of amateur performers, each harboring their own secrets. As tensions rise among the diverse group—including an estate agent, an accountant, and a teenage funeral director—questions emerge about who among them had a motive to kill.
