MURDER AT THE OPERA(ISBN=) 英文原版

　　Margaret Truman, who knows where all the bodies are buried
inside the Beltway, has written her most thrilling novel of
suspense yet. Murder at the Opera features the popular
crime-fighting couple Mac Smith and his wife, Annabel Reed-Smith,
as they navigate the glitz, glamour, and grime that is Washington,
D.C. It ain’t over till the fat lady sings . . . but the show
hasn’t even started yet when a diva is found dead. The soprano in
question, a petite young Asian Canadian named Charise Lee, was
scarcely a star at the Washington National Opera. But when the
aspiring singer is stabbed in the heart backstage during
rehearsals, she suddenly takes center stage. Georgetown law
professor Mac Smith thought he’d just be carrying a rapier in Tosca
as a favor for his beloved Annabel, but now they’re both being
pressured by the panicked theater board to unmask a killer.
Providing accompaniment will be former homicide detective, current
P.I., and eternal opera fan Raymond Pawkins. Soon the Smiths find
themselves dangerously improvising among an expanding cast of
suspects with all sorts of scores to settle. What they uncover is
an increasingly complex case reaching far beyond Washington to a
dark world of informers and terror alerts in Iraq, and climaxing on
a fateful night at the opera attended by none other than the
President himself. “From the Hardcover edition.”
