Puck Bure's meeting with Paul Sandwall in Stockholm is opportune.
As the new manager of Drottningholm Palace Theatre, the historic
eighteenth century Opera house on the outskirts of the city, he plans
to open the season with a performance of
Cosi fan tutte. Not only is
Mozart's opera to be staged as a climax to the city's summer arts festival,
but two celebrities - Danish prima donna Teresa Monrad and her ex-
husband, world-famous conductor Prof. Matthew Lemming - are to take
part.
Tensions behind the scenes revolve around the beautiful yet volatile prima
donna and when a macabre murder is committed, puck is drawn into the
police investigation.
A Swedish crime fiction classic and part of the inspiration behind the new
BBC4 drama
Crime of Passion.
