Phantom Murder (The Phoenix of the Opera #6)

Having laid to rest the Phantom, Erik Costanzi dedicates himself to his family and to his work at the Teatro dell’Opera. An illness forces Meg to withdraw from the stage and Erik to hire a competent but uninspiring replacement. When Meg resists his encouragement to resume her place as diva, Erik wonders why she is reluctant. As Erik and Meg come to a crossroads, tensions flare at the Teatro among the other members of Erik’s domain. Just as the Phantom learned that he could not impose his will with impunity, Erik comes to understand the limits of his own powers. But when a murder stuns the opera world and casts suspicion on everyone, who would be a more likely suspect than the enigmatic “Masked Genius of the Opera”?
