House out. Conductor, go. Voiceover, go. Lights up. Murder spree?

Mexicali Rose—Mex to her friends—shines best when she's close to the Great Bright Way. Six unrelated victims have been found dead all over the City. Two consistent but curious clues tie them together—a ticket stub to Chicago—The Musical and a mysterious playing card.

Sergeant Michael Ryan Kelley's crew know nothing about how theatre works on the inside, so he casts Mex into the case. As the lights flicker on Broadway and the gossip infiltrates the industry, Mex must dive deep into her Romany ancestry, and learn quite a few new dance steps to keep ahead of a card sharp.

Mex's heart and a killer are on the loose when the love of her life reappears to propose marriage and all that jazz. Mex turns to her Granny's divination training for inspiration along with a little assistance from Prudence, her longest-time cat-panion.

Will Mex razzle dazzle Broadway and make the intuitive leap to solve the case or has the murderer set the stage for a grizzly encore performance?
