  • "Dreaming of stardom had lured Martyn Tarne from faraway New Zealand to make the soul-destroying round of West End agents and managers in search of work. The Vulcan Theatre had been her last hope, and now, driven by necessity, she was glad to accept the humble job of dresser to its leading lady, Helena Hamilton. Opening night brought to Martyn a strange turn of the wheel of fortune -- and to one member of the cast, death, sudden and unforeseen."
  • "Opening night: Tensions are running high on the first night of the new play. When the leading actor is found gassed in his dressing room it looks like suicide. It soon transpires, however, that he was widely detested, and almost everyone in the theatre had a possible motive for his murder. It's down to Inspector Alleyn to discover who acted upon their grudge. When in Rome: Alleyn is in Rome, travelling incognito on the trail of an international drugs racket. His path crosses the members of Sebastian Mailer's tour group, all of whom seem strangely unperturbed that their guide has disappeared in the depths of a Roman basilica. Then a body is found in an Etruscan sarcophagus and Alleyn is very much concerned."
  • "De moord op een acteur in een Londens theater bezorgt een rechercheur vele hoofdbrekens. Als superintendent Alleyn in Rome is voor een onderzoek naar de handel in drugs, wordt hij ook geconfronteerd met enkele moorden."
