书籍简介

歌剧院午间演出期间，提词员在理查德·瓦格纳的《女武神》第二幕中倒地身亡，这引起了不小的轰动，尤其是当人们发现死者是曾经举世闻名的英雄男高音时，他被毒死了。负责此案的侦探昆汀中尉发现自己沉浸在专业歌剧的幕后戏剧中。当他断定受害者实际上是明星女高音，而不是提词员时，他的任务变得更加困难。他能在歌剧院再次发生谋杀案之前破案吗？

When the prompter falls dead during the second act of Richard Wagner's Die Walküre during a matinee performance at the Metropolitan Opera, as one can imagine, it causes quite a stir, especially when it is discovered that the deceased, a one time world famous Heldentenor has been poisoned. The detective assigned to the case, Lt. Quentin, finds himself immersed in the back stage drama of professional opera. His task is made more difficult when he decides that it had really been the star soprano who had been the intended victim, and not the prompter. Will he be able to solve the case before there is another Metropolitan Opera Murder?
