It Happens in the Dark

The reviews called it 'A Play to Die For' after the woman was found dead in the front row. It didn t seem so funny the next night, when another body was found - this time the playwright s, his throat slashed. Detective Kathy Mallory takes over, but no matter what she asks, no one seems to be giving her a straight answer. The only person - if person is the right word - who seems to be clear is the ghostwriter. Every night, an unseen backstage hand chalks up line changes and messages on a blackboard. And the ghostwriter is now writing Mallory into the play itself, a play about a long-ago massacre that may not be at all fictional.
