The case
The Last Act Players have made a living out of fake murders, bad alibis and suspiciously enthusiastic hotel guests.
Then Worcester gives them the real thing.
At The King's Head Hotel, a Civil War-themed murder mystery weekend becomes an actual crime scene when the scripted victim is found dead for real. Actor Simon Cade, already playing the detective, suddenly finds himself treated like a suspect.
With the police watching, the cast unravelling, and the guests all hiding something, Simon must pick through theatrical lies, old secrets and badly rehearsed truths to solve his first real murder.
Because this time, no one knows the ending.
