Has-been divas and wannabe thespians abound in VENGEANCE ACTS UP, the sixth book in the Wally Morris mystery series. Tensions run high, in part because the success of the play and the performing arts center depends on the director's newly found sobriety. Unfortunately, angry theater gods and superstitions seem to be working against a successful production. Wade Fuller, local restaurateur, president of the new, long-awaited performing arts center, and self-appointed boss of the world, knows how to stop the show--give a stunning performance as a dead man. Too bad he isn't acting. As the curtain rises on another slaying in Grosvenor, New Jersey, Wally Morris is cast in the role of amateur sleuth once again. But this time the case is as close to home as one can get-her husband, Nate, is suspected of committing the murder. Worse, she knows he is keeping a secret.
