Behind That Curtain
ByPublisher Description
In Behind the Curtain, the third thrilling installment of the Charlie Chan mysteries, Honolulu’s most astute detective is drawn into a web of intrigue, betrayal, and murder on the mainland. When a famous stage actress is found dead during a rehearsal—curtains drawn, screams muffled, and a knife still warm—Chan must uncover what lies behind the velvet drapes of high society.
With a glamorous but treacherous cast of suspects, an eerie stage haunted by whispered threats, and a killer who always seems one step ahead, Charlie Chan races against time to stop the final curtain from falling—on himself.
Lurid, fast-paced, and crackling with suspense, Behind the Curtain is a dazzling blend of pulp drama and locked-room mystery that will keep you guessing until the last shocking reveal.
