Publisher's Summary
An old man recounts the story of a death he witnessed as a young boy working in the theater: His boss, Mr. Haliday, had married a pretty young lady from the theater, much to the chagrin of the other women working in the company. It was a marriage of convenience, but in the beginning they got along well enough. After a handsome younger man, Henry Mortimer, joins the theater company, Mrs. Haliday and Mortimer start up a romance that everyone but Mr. Haliday seem to notice. However, during a performance one night, something seems to go terrible wrong as a piece of equipment falls from the stage and kills Mortimer.
Although it seems like a simple stage malfunction, the young theater boy notices something that the rest do not: A strange piece of metal that he found on stage immediately following the death of Mortimer that seems to imply that Mr. Haliday wasn't as clueless as everyone had thought....
