A Harper Mystery. 8.25"x5.75", 244 pages. Satisfaction Guaranteed. Murder on stage brings back Barr Breed, in a fast, tough mystery of show business. Barr met Coffee Stearns on a blind date. She was a show girl, in "Golden Girls, " which was playing in Chicago. On their first date she had been surprisingly aloof. Then she began to warm up. Their next date seemed promising. But while Barr was watching the show from out front, a girl, suspended in a gilded cage, pitched forward into the orchestra pit, with a long knife buried in her lovely, gold-painted back. Barr went into the case with a bitterness that was new to him. He was blown up by a bomb sent through a darkened theater, and finally solved an ingenious criminal plot.
