Murder at the Opera re-introduces a popular couple who have appeared in some of the earlier Capital Crimes novels: law professor Mac Smith and his wife, Georgetown gallery owner Annabel Reed-Smith, who has a professional relationship with some of the Washington National Opera's most renowned players - its trustees. The book opens with a bloody discovery: the corpse of a young soprano who has been skewered with a prop from the WNO's soon-to-premiere production of Puccini's Tosca. As the media swarm, the company sets up its own task force, and Annabel asks Mac to be involved. Life imitates opera, and suddenly all the performers seem to have something to hide: passions for one another, histories better left uncovered, and even connections to foreign terrorists. The murder investigation is in a race against time mere weeks before opening night, a black-tie gala at which everyone - including the President himself - will be in the seats. 000324945 520__ $$aA diva is found dead on stage at the Washington National Opera and Mac Smith and Annabel Reed-Smith are pressured by the panicked theater board to find the killer. 000324945 61020 $$aNational Opera (Washington, D.C.) 000324945 650_0 $$aReed-Smith, Annabel (Fictitious character)$$vFiction. 000324945 650_0 $$aWomen art dealers$$vFiction. 000324945 650_0 $$aOpera$$vFiction. 000324945 651_0 $$aWashington (D.C.)$$vFiction. 000324945 655_7 $$aMystery fiction.$$2gsafd 000324945 8001_ $$aTruman, Margaret,$$d1924-2008.$$tCapital crimes series. 000324945 85280 $$bpopam$$hTruman 000324945 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:324945$$pGLOBAL_SET 000324945 980__ $$aBIB 000324945 980__ $$aBOOK
