A dance with death... After the final curtain of Swan Lake, an
animated crowd exits the Mariinsky theatre brimming with
excitement. But outside the scene is somber. A ballerina's body
lies face down in the snow, blood splattered like rose petals over
the costume of the Swan Queen. The crowd is silenced by a single
cry - "Nemetseva is dead!" Among the theatergoers is Lady Emily,
accompanying her dashing husband Colin in Russia on assignment from
the Crown. But it soon becomes clear that Colin isn't the only one
with work to do. When the dead ballerina's aristocratic lover comes
begging for justice, Emily must apply her own set of skills to
discover the rising star's murderer. Her investigation takes her on
a dance across the stage of Tsarist Russia, from the opulence of
the Winter Palace, to the modest flats of ex-ballerinas and the
locked attics of political radicals. A mysterious dancer in white
follows closely behind, making waves through St. Petersburg with
her surprise performances and trail of red scarves. Is it the sweet
Katenka, Nemetseva's childhood friend and favorite rival? The ghost
of the murdered etoile herself? Or, something even more sinister?
