Revenge is a bloody business.
Broadway, New York, 1922: the economy is booming, the days are short, and the nights are long and filled with every kind of entertainment imaginable. But all is not well in this dazzling, decadent world. A masked criminal is stalking the streets and haunting the theaters, leaving chaos in his wake. No stage is safe from his devious and brilliant methods of sabotage.
Janitor Tom Wilkins is no hero: in his opinion, the snobby actors and rich fat cats around him are getting exactly what they deserve at the mysterious vigilante’s hands. But a chance encounter and a remarkable run of bad luck soon plunge him into a deadly game of cat and mouse against a madman bent on total destruction.
Caught in the whirlwind along with a beautiful actress, a refined theater owner, and a rookie police officer, Wilkins must use all his skills to expose the mastermind pulling all their strings before the curtain falls on Broadway forever — and possibly on his life.
A historical fiction thriller full of mystery and intrigue in the spirit of The Great Gatsby, Batman, and The Phantom of the Opera that’s sure to keep you on the edge of your seat.
