The Story
The play in rehearsal at the Cornmarket Theatre has all the earmarks of a smash hit if sabotage doesnt bring down the curtain before opening night. Ghostly messages appearing o dressing-room mirrors, dirty tricks, and mysterious accidents begin to spook the cast, who believe the theatre is haunted by the angry spirit of Restoration dramatist Sir John Cartwright, the plays author. But barrister-sleuth Antony Maitland is sure that the things going bump in the darkened theatre have a very human origin. And if he doesnt unmask the joker jinxing the Cornmarket, the next act could be bloody murder.
