- Summary:
- "A debut workplace noir novel of female ambition about what happens when fake violence draws real blood, for fans of Mrs. and Tangerine" -- Provided by publisher.
- After years of struggling in the Chicago theater scene, Kira Rascher finally lands the role of a lifetime. The catch? Starring in Temper means working with Malcolm Mercer, a mercurial director who's known for pushing his performers past their limits, onstage and off. The theater's cofounder, Joanna Cuyler, sees Kira as a threat to her own thwarted artistic aspirations, her twisted relationship with Malcolm, and the shocking secret she's keeping about the upcoming production. As opening night draws near, Kira and Joanna will find out exactly what they're capable of. -- adapted from jacket
