Behind the electric lights of 1903 Broadway lay a secret worth killing for.
When the curtain prepares to rise on In Dahomey-the first all-Black musical comedy in Broadway history-nineteen-year-old stagehand Elijah Carter believes he's part of a cultural revolution. But as opening night at the prestigious New York Theatre approaches, a sinister campaign of sabotage threatens to destroy the production before the first note is played.
Stolen musical scores. Sabotaged orchestra instruments. Shadowy figures lurking in the theater's sub-basement utility tunnels. Someone powerful is desperate to ensure the show fails-and they aren't afraid to use arson, bribery, or violence to lock the doors for good.
Teaming up with Margaret Finch, a sharp and tenacious investigative reporter for the New York Age, Elijah plunges into a dangerous web of greed, theatrical rivalry, and corruption stretching from the dark waterfront docks of the Hudson River to the gilded parlors of Fifth Avenue.
With a ruthless Syndicate director closing in and a twenty-four-hour bank deadline ticking down, Elijah and Margaret must unmask the mastermind behind the chaos before the final curtain falls on history.
Rich in authentic period detail, sharp historical intrigue, and unforgettable characters, The Dahomey Deception is a gripping suspense novel about resilience, justice, and the courage it takes to bring the truth to light.
