The Broadway Comedy Murders

About the Book

Broadway Comedy Murders Hollywood comedy writer Springer McKay’s latest adventure finds him on Broadway, where his satirical play, Boob Tube, is in rehearsal with a bunch of wildly eccentric actors—British stage legend Lady Kate Ashley, egotistical sitcom star Wally Wheeler, highly neurotic Tony Award–winner Nedda Norman, and action film star Kirby Gates, who has saved the world a million times. Retired junk dealer Sid Rosko is the producer. Five quirky young performers round out the cast. When two surprisingly bizarre murders take place, the entire Boob Tube company is suspected, including our overly curious hero, Springer McKay, who finds himself in the role of detective. Laughs, sex, intrigue—they’re all here on this screwball journey into murder, Broadway style.
