Murder rocks a cozy NYC theater community. A stage manager must solve the case — but the Christmas show needs her, cops are looking the wrong way, & her best friend’s boyfriend is acting shady. Without a culprit, they all might lose the chance at their stage dreams.

When the fates of a genius artificer & a ghostly warrior collide, they must outmaneuver seductive half-truths trying to keep them apart. Otherwise a brewing rebellion, demonic beasts, & heartbreaking betrayal will lead them to destroy the land and the people they both love.

ARSENIC & ADOBO X KILLER CONTENT

When a stage manager stumbles upon the body of the egotistical theater owner, she must cast her community as suspects to solve the case, or the theater will shut down and the curtain will fall on her career before it even begins.

Circus tricks. Drag shows. Improv comedy. A stage manager sees it all. But when her unpopular boss dies, she has to solve his murder. Otherwise, her career may be on the line, or worse, the show won’t go on!
