Download Poor Butterfly: A Toby Peters Mystery, Book 15 AudioBook Free
The year 1942 is a terrible time to stage Madame Butterfly. Although Puccini's masterpiece is a perennial favorite of the SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA opera audience, its sympathetic depiction of your Japanese girl triggers tension in the dark months pursuing Pearl Harbor. Magazine editorialists rage from the creation, opera buffs picket the movie theater, and a note appears nailed to the house door, threatening violence against the cast and crew. If the first workman dies, the maestro calls Toby Peters, a LA detective who works discreetly for Hollywood's wealthy and famous. Two days continue to be before the opening night, and your body count continues to go up. As he hunts for this self-styled phantom of the opera, Toby comes for just one of the business starlets. They must tread casually, or risk a death more remarkable than anything Puccini ever dreamed up.
