Thomas Kaine: And The Crimson Stage (The Noir Series Book 2)

In the shadowed city of Dunsmore, where secrets bleed through the cracks of old theaters and the spotlight hides more than it reveals, private investigator Thomas Kaine thought he’d seen the worst the stage could offer. But when a cursed revival of Dracula draws blood from its cast and whispers of a forgotten fire resurface, Kaine and his sharp-witted partner Lana Drexler are pulled into a world where the line between performance and ritual blurs.

As opening night draws near and the bodies begin to fall, Kaine and Drexler must navigate a web of half-truths, broken legacies, and the ghosts that still haunt the wings. Every clue leads deeper into a buried past—a place where obsession wears a velvet mask and the final act is always death.

The spotlight is waiting.

And in Dunsmore, some plays were never meant to end.
