The Old Die Young (The Nathan Shapiro Mysteries Book 10)

Detective Lieutenant Nathan Shapiro investigates the suspicious death of actor Clive Branson in this Nathan Shapiro mystery. Shapiro, known for his dour demeanor, works with his partner Detective Anthony "Tony" Cook to uncover what happened to the vain actor, who was found dead in heavy makeup designed to conceal his true age. Branson was performing in the Broadway production Summer Solstice at the time of his death. The cast and crew express shock at his sudden passing, though their reactions may not be genuine. When an autopsy reveals that barbiturates caused Branson's death, Shapiro and Cook must identify which member of the production is concealing a murderous intent behind a facade of innocence. This is the tenth book in the Nathan Shapiro Mysteries series and can be read independently of the others.
