It's 1927, and "the Ferber season on Broadway" is about to begin. But despite the excitement, author Edna Ferber misses both opening nights. She has something else on her mind—murder. Edna has been mentoring "Negro" writers and actors, among them her housekeeper's son, Waters Turpin, and the handsome, charismatic Roddy Parsons. She heads to Harlem to take Parsons to lunch, only to discover he's been stabbed to death in his bed. Who would murder Roddy? |
