In this latest adventure with psychic witch, Rachael Penzra, she once again finds herself coerced into helping with a local play production. That's bad enough, but now the dead body of a man has been found in the theater's parking lot. Not really knowing the man, Rachael tries not to get involved, needing all her wits to keep up with her aunt and sneaky cohorts. Dissatisfied with playing bit parts, the troublesome ladies are determined to do whatever it takes to prove they are serious actors.
When news of an attempted murder of a local man leaks, Rachael is forced to get involved in the investigation. He's old, but he's rich, and while his wife seems intent on keeping him shackled to her, another woman has different plans. The old man asks Rachael to help him find out what's going on, and caught between compassion and snoopiness, she reluctantly agrees.
Bit by bit Rachael finds herself becoming helplessly entangled in the webs other people have woven. But if she can't untangle the mess, she might end up the spider's next victim.
