Small town controversies can be murder.When a newcomer to Erin, Ohio, proposes to tear down the historic Bijou Theater and erect in its place a boutique hotel, Sebastian McCabe adds civic activist to a long resume that already includes magician, mystery writer, professor, and amateur sleuth.With the strategic help of brotherinlaw Jeff Cody, Mac launches a farreaching campaign to Save the Bijou. The issue becomes highly political when three eccentric mayoral candidates stake out their positions which one of them switches after a hefty campaign contribution.The plot machinations of grand opera seem positively guileless by comparison! Mac cries. Can homicide be far behind?The opera comparison is a natural one, for the new Erin Opera Company is staging an original work with a Mardi Gras theme. As murder strikes again, this time back stage, Sebastian McCabe becomes aware that many of the actors in this reallife drama are wearing metaphorical masks as well. Lynda Teal, Jeffs wife, records much of Macs sleuthing for a podcast series, never imagining that the most dramatic audio of the concluding episode will come from the murderer.
