Mrs. Jeffries Takes the Stage (1997)
“Jeffries Takes the Stage CHAPTER 1 “What’s that blackguard doing here?” Albert Parks muttered under his breath as he watched the small man in elegant black evening dress march down the center aisle of the Hayden Theatre.
Parks’s heartbeat raced, beads of sweat popped out on his forehead and his hands started to shake. He dropped the velvet curtain, letting the material close so he wouldn’t have to look at that hated face. What in the name of God was he going to do? The bastard wasn’t even suppo...sed to be in England. The last Parks had heard, Hinchley was in New York savaging careers and giving the theatre people of London a well-earned rest from his vicious pen.
Now oblivious to the hustle and bustle going on around and behind him on the stage, Parks peeked through the curtain again. He spotted the critic taking a seat in the third row center. Damn. His eyes hadn’t been playing tricks on him. It was Hinchley all right.
“Mr. Parks,” the wardrobe mistress called from the back of the stage.MoreLess
