Like every actor, Ivy Meadows knows that Macbeth is cursed. But shes finally scored her big break, cast as an acrobatic witch in a circus-themed production of Macbethin Phoenix, Arizona. And though it may not be Broadway, nothing can dampen her enthusiasmnot her flying caldron, too-tight leotard, or carrot-wielding dictator of a director.

But when one of the cast dies on opening night, Ivy is sure the seeming accident is murder most foul and that shes the perfect person to solve the crime (after all, she does work part-time in her uncles detective agency). Undeterred by a poisoned Big Gulp, the threat of being blackballed, and the suddenly too-real curse, Ivy pursues the truth at the risk of her hard-won careerand her life.
