Ginny Darbonne has finally pulled herself from the murky abyss where anger, fear and hopelessness crush the spirit. Three years earlier, her father and her best friend had been murdered by the evil Stark. Stark is dead now. She killed him. Good riddance! Having realized her dream of creating her own touring dance company, The Virginia Dare Dance Ensemble, Ginny's spirit is soaring. Nearing the end of this first American tour, she can look back on a year of accomplishment. It has been hard work, yes; but Emily, her life saver in so many ways and now her stage manager extraordinaire, has been there all the way. Two more shows, Ginny thinks, and she and Emily will have the summer to reflect and to plan. But into their lives comes the stunningly beautiful actress, Lorna Glass. The visit is unexpected and it changes everything. Enter a cast that includes: an odd collector of...well, something odd; a thief; a killer with an ego so monstrous he calls himself "Caesar"; a harried detective; and a woman-chasing state senator. It's not long before Ginny and her friends are being dragged into a spider's nest of cruelty, terror and death. And it's not only themselves they must save!
