Murder in Third Position
Deadly rivalries. Ruthless enemies. And that’s just the first act.
Ballerina Leah Siderova is thrilled when she’s chosen to dance the lead role in American Ballet Company’s production of The Nutcracker. She’s less happy when she learns she must perform upon a platform that teeters high above the stage.
The dancers were unanimous in their dislike of the artist who designed the rickety scenery, and they eagerly anticipated his departure. What they didn’t foresee is that he would exit in a body bag and not on a nonstop flight to LA.
Leah doesn’t want to get involved in the ensuing murder investigation, but when suspicion falls upon Tex, her dance partner and friend, she has no choice but to act. She enlists the Choreographers of Crime for help, but it’s her life, her career, and her complicated romance with homicide detective Jonah Sobol that’s on the line.
With opening night less than a week away, and the future of American Ballet Company hanging in the balance, can Leah save Tex in time to save the show?
