Star Trap

The potential target for murder in Star Trap is a monumentally odious theatre and television star, who is currently backing, producing and starring in a musical remotely based on She Stoops to Conquer. During rehearsals, the show is afflicted by strange mishaps: the rehearsal pianist is shot in the hand, an actor falls and breaks a leg, and so on. So when Charles Paris - Mr Brett's now familiar actor/detective - joins the cast, he immediately begins investigating and decides that the star himself is responsible. But why should he want to sabotage his own show? If Paris is right, it's a very odd problem. It's a very odd problem anyway, but one that is a lot more human than it first appears.
