Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. First UK edition, first impression. Some slight edge wear to top and bottom of classic Gollancz yellow jacket and spine, corners very slightly bruised, not price clipped (no published price), no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg+ copy for its age. 179pp. A lot of people have good reason to despise Jason Saylin. He has earned a reputation as New York's most scathing and powerful theatre critic. After parties at his penthouse apartment are the most exclusive in the city. His knack for pointing out the key flaws of any production crushes budding starlets and delights readers. And his gossip columns are required reading for anyone aspiring to become someone on Broadway. Still, Jason has one weakness, an illness that he is desperate to hide. His illness is revealed in grandiose fashion when Jason staggers into a room during a party and falls dead on the floor. A man as controversial as Jason Saylin has a long list of detractors, and it is up to the intrepid Jocelyn O'Rourke to find answers. With the help of her friends (and lover) in the NYPD, New York's greatest triple threat, actor singer detective, must get to the heart of a mystery that has taken centre stage in the theatre world. Jane Dentinger (1951), is an American mystery writer and Broadway actress. Seller Inventory # 009487
