Will the kiss of death claim Romeo and Juliet―and Sully―before opening night?

When Edwina "Sully" Sullivan, a retired cop turned theater manager, learns that a production of Romeo and Juliet―which Cliffside Theater's Dimitri Traietti left town to direct―is in serious trouble, she sets aside her grant applications and heads to Boston to help.

Between managing Dimitri, consulting with costume and set designers, and schmoozing with potential funders, Sully puts on nearly every hat in the biz. But the one hat she doesn't expect to wear is that of her old job as a cop. When a socialite is murdered in Boston's Public Garden, Sully's ex-husband becomes the prime suspect. So she reprises her role as an ace investigator and once again steps into the spotlight to solve a crime.

February should be off-season for the Cliffside Theater Company, but not this year. Dimitri Traietti has gone to Boston to direct Romeo and Juliet, but the show runs into trouble. Sully Sullivan, retired cop and current theater manager, goes back to her old stomping grounds to help.

When a socialite it killed in Boston's Public Garden, Sully's ex-husband Gus is the prime suspect. After he disappears, Sully dusts off her detective skills to find him, and uncover the real murderer. All before opening night.
