THE FINAL CURTAIN— A Mystery Novel

The Final Curtain — A Mystery Novel, by Juan Coss

An opera house closing forever. A diva coming home to sing one last time. And a curtain that falls on a crime.

Guanajuato, Mexico. The historic Teatro Imperial is about to become a luxury hotel, and its final performance is La Traviata. The great soprano Elena Castellanos returns after twenty years to sing it. Watching her from Box Seven is Andrés Villaseñor, an opera critic and the man who never stopped loving her.

At the interval, Elena hands him a note: after the final curtain, she will reveal the truth about Amparo Lozano, the legendary Lady in Red who died on that same stage in 1926. But when the curtain rises again, Elena is gone. She has fallen through the same trapdoor as Amparo, and someone has left a Venetian mask in Andrés’s box.

A hundred-year-old diary, a score full of secrets and a theater where everyone is acting. To find the killer, Andrés will have to stop watching from his box and step onto the stage.
