Paris, 1883. Oscar Wilde joins the city’s theatrical and artistic world while a company prepares a production of Hamlet. When a member of the theatre crew dies in circumstances dismissed as accidental, Wilde suspects that the apparent mishap conceals a deliberate killing.

Further deaths expose rivalries and secrets within the company, drawing Wilde from backstage rooms and bohemian clubs into an increasingly dangerous inquiry. To prevent another murder, he must determine how the victims are connected and why the killer has chosen the theatre as the setting for the crimes.
