Death Awaits Thee

Puck Bure''s meeting with Paul Sandwall in Stockholm is opportune.

As the new manager of Drottningholm Palace Theatre, the historic

eighteenth century Opera house on the outskirts of the city, he plans

to open the season with a performance of Cosi fan tutte. Not only is

Mozart''s opera to be staged as a climax to the city''s summer arts festival,

but two celebrities - Danish prima donna Teresa Monrad and her ex-

husband, world-famous conductor Prof. Matthew Lemming - are to take

part.

Tensions behind the scenes revolve around the beautiful yet volatile prima

donna and when a macabre murder is committed, puck is drawn into the

police investigation.

A Swedish crime fiction classic and part of the inspiration behind the new

BBC4 drama Crime of Passion.
