Spider Dance by Carole Nelson Douglas

A fearless opera diva–turned–sleuth chases the hidden legacy of a scandal-making dancer whose infamous routine concealed far more dangerous secrets. From bohemian stages to Gilded Age parlors and New York’s shadowed alleys, she follows clues toward a missing heir and a cache of compromising documents while crossing swords with blackmailers, politicians, and killers. With her steadfast companion at her side, she untangles a decades-spanning web of desire and deceit, facing perilous revelations that threaten the powerful and test her own loyalties.
