Aria for MurderA dazzling new production of Carmen is set to open in Chicago, an event destined to drag opera kicking and screaming into the twenty-first century. More "musical extravaganza" than magnum opus, it still retains classic opera's scandalous offstage theatrics: a diva with an oversize ego, clandestine love affairs, philanthropic pussyfooting -- and now murder.
When handsome tenor Riccardo Nuevo, playing Don Jose, literally dies on stage in a moment that is dramatic even by operatic standards, everyone is stunned. But was Riccardo really the intended victim -- or should the swan song have gone to the queen of mean herself, dragon diva Maria Cortez? With the help of his close friend and opera buff septuagenarian Emily Charters, Chicago detective Jeremy Ransom goes backstage to turn the spotlight on a clever killer.

Curse of the Modern WorldIn a philanthropic push to sidestep his negative image as a destroyer of Chicago's famous landmarks, real estate mogul and Chilean expatriate Louie Dolores brings an exhibit of ancient Chinchorro mummies to his huge downtown skyscraper. But when a "mummy" comes to life and starts haunting the exhibit, Chicago detective Jeremy Ransom starts questioning those who might want to cause trouble.
With a man as hated as Dolores, there are many suspects to choose from, including Hector Gonzalez, the superstitious curator; Martita, Dolores's mysterious and beautiful wife; Bill Braverman, who "takes care" of his boss's less-than-legal affairs -- and still others. When Dolores is brutally murdered by one of the wandering mummies, Ransom's street smarts -- plus the keen insight of his trusted confidante, the elderly Emily Charters - lead him to a conclusion that lays bare a murderer in mummy's clothing.
