At the Bellwether theatre, stage manager Clara Vale finds conductor Adrian Blackwood dead. His reflection appears unwilling to accept the news.
The opening brings together backstage pressure, an imperious conductor and a mystery with an uncanny twist. Its strongest hook is the collision between practical theatre work and a death that refuses to behave normally. Readers drawn to theatrical settings and dark humour have a particularly promising starting point here.
