VANISHED ON THE VAUDEVILLE CIRCUIT

It's the 1920s. Song-and-dance man August La May, formerly known as Avram Landenberg of the Lower East Side of Manhattan, thought he was living a grand life on the Orpheum Circuit in vaudeville, traveling the country with his gal Violetta and daughters April and Florabelle. Even after Violetta deserted the act and broke his heart, he toured with his talented children, still bringing down the house while billed as "The Three La Mays."

But four years after Violetta left, all might not be well. August is sure he sees her on the theater ticket line in Chicago. Then seven-year-old Florabelle goes missing on her way to the stage.  Has Violetta really returned for only one of her daughters, or has someone else among the irregular folks in vaudeville taken the talented child? 

BACKSTABBED ON BROADWAY

That narcissistic agent is one of the most hated characters on Broadway, and it’s not really a surprise that he finally got stabbed in the back. In shock, young Jasmine is astonished to find out that the boss she couldn’t abide left her the agency, and everything else he owned, in his latest, newly revised will. The co-workers he bypassed are furious, the actors he worked with are not really sorry he’s dead, and the police are stumped. In a menacing theatrical environment that exists beneath the veneer of a glamourous industry, where so many people are not who they pretend to be, can Jasmine find out whodunit?
