About the Book

Murder takes center stage—and death calls for an encore.

If the Grim Reaper handed out punch cards, Sky Stryker’s would be maxed out. What began with the brutal murder of her best friend as a teen has followed her into adulthood—and now it’s haunting her in the Big Apple. First, her fashion model cousin is killed. Then, a massacre at a high-profile party for the city's elite leaves her reeling. Sky’s ready for a break from death's relentless grip. So when her college friend debuts her new Broadway musical, she hopes for a night of distraction and escape.

Until her friend’s body is found dangling from the theater rafters.

The police think it might be suicide, but Sky disagrees. Especially when she learns her friend sent a joyful text to her mother just before her death. But when more members of the cast turn up dead, it’s clear that something far more sinister is at play.

Someone wants to shut this production down—permanently. Or is their motive something else?

As Sky steps behind the scene, she uncovers a world where ambition cuts like a knife, and betrayal waits in the wings. With a killer on the loose and the body count rising, the next murder could be just a cue away. Sky must catch the killer before the final curtain falls—on her and her friends.

Fatal Act is the fifth gripping installment in the Sky Stryker series by best-selling author Mary Stone. Murder may be a hard act to follow—but the show must go on.
