Show Notes
At a chic New York benefit, attorney‑turned‑sleuth Elsbeth Tascioni unexpectedly crosses paths with her old friend Marissa Gold, now running the campaign of rising mayoral candidate Alec Bloom. Meanwhile, a grim turn of events: the seasoned arts patron Dolores Feinn dies in a suspicious oxygen‑tank explosion, and journal‑editor Gary Pidgeon is front and center. As Elsbeth digs into the nonprofit world (“the arts are under attack!”), she teams with Detective Rivers to unravel what seems like a money‑motived murder. And just as the poem ends, Marissa drops an ominous request: Elsbeth’s the one who holds the city’s fate.
