Beyond the Darkness - Paperback

by Thom Collins (Author)

A starring role in a new show could give Hudson the career boost he needs...if he lives that long.

American actor Hudson Rhodes enjoys working in the UK. After a successful career in film and TV in his twenties, he's established himself as a bankable star in the theatre world. A month-long run in a new play at Blyham's Empire Theatre has the potential to lead to a West End transfer and Hudson is ready for it. The only thing threatening to spoil it is a series of sinister letters that point to a role he would rather forget.

Rehearsals for the show are going smoothly until a local journalist, Luke Kamal, arrives to write a piece about the production. Luke is handsome and smart and highly regarded in his field, but Hudson hates reporters. He's learnt the hard way that the press cannot be trusted.

When a member of the cast is murdered, the show is thrown into greater jeopardy. The victim is someone close to Hudson. As he struggles with his attraction to Luke, the menacing letters continue to arrive. The killer has Hudson in their sights, and he might not make it to opening night.
