The stage is set for murder.

Jayne Murphy knew her first case as a private investigator was going to be tough, but she never expected to become a witness to a gruesome murder. When a long-time family friend falls from high above the stage during a production of a holiday favorite, The Nutcracker, Jayne is the only one who suspects foul play.

Can she navigate the perils of an investigation that puts her in the crosshairs of a ruthless villain while also helping her aging mother run the dance studio? It's enough to make Jayne question her choices, but she's spent a lifetime feeling obligated to do the right thing. Why stop now?

If Jayne can't become a cop, she'll solve mysteries on her own terms.
