As the two become increasingly intimate, Sofia is sure that she has never been happier. But after a feted performance at an aristocrat's castle, she is accosted by the owner . . . and the following morning he is found dead. Sofia is accused of murder.A tale of blackmail and and sexual jealousy will reveal the true killer and the redemptive power of theatre will triumph.
