The Mystery of the Dramaturgical Dagger

The world has changed since the first time The Three Investigators went into action, but some things never go out of style. The persistence of truth. The power of perseverance. The importance of questioning everything. Conceived and co-written by Elizabeth Arthur, the daughter of Robert Arthur, the creator of the Three Investigators universe, this exciting reboot of the classic series takes its iconic characters into a new age. They return reimagined, reinvigorated, and more relevant than ever. In the fourth book of a 26-book story arc, The Three Investigators find themselves on a high-stakes case at the Rocky Beach Summer Theatre Festival. The young Indian-American film star Daman Duwalia, headlining a production of Romeo and Juliet, contacts the team after receiving a series of menacing letters. Madhuri Singh, the play's director, has also been bullied, and a string of accidents threatens to sabotage the production before it even opens. Jupiter quickly spots a clue in the letters: they were typed on a machine with a distinctive "signature." The team tracks the machine to the office of Sir Iain Anthony, the famed English actor now overseeing the festival.
