The Most Ingenious Murder Mystery For A Decade

The Palace Theatre will play host to a gripping psychological thriller from the doyen of great detective/thriller writers, Richard Harris (A Touch of Frost, The Avengers, the Sweeney and The LastDetective) when THE BUSINESS OF MURDER arrives in town for a week on 9 March following a successful nine years in the West End.

Stone, a humourless and dour man, invites Dee, a television playwright, over to his flat on the premise of discussing a script. Once there, she is surprised when Superintendent Hallett, the man with whom she is having an affair, also arrives for an entirely different reason. But nothing is as it seems, and as the plot twists and turns, the motive of their host Stone gradually becomes clear. They are all, it would seem, in the same business...the Business of Murder!

Starring Robert Gwilyn (Casualty, The Bill), Paul Opacic (Bad Girls, Hollyoaks, Emmerdale) and Joanna Higson (Shameless, WPC56) this really is "The most ingenious murder mystery for a decade"(Daily Mail)
