A Michael Spraggue Mystery. Famed theater director Arthur Darien's production of "Dracula" is in trouble. Strange and macabre jokes—including a batch of literally mixed Bloody Marys—are unnerving the cast and threatening to close the play before opening night. Michael Spraggue enters the cast, but in a dual role unknown to most of them—Arthur Darien has asked him to solve the mystery of the jokes before the jokes turn deadly. But Spraggue finds that he is not the only actor playing a dual role. Nobody is sticking to the script—and a killer is bent on giving the performance of a lifetime!
