Do all police departments have special divisions devoted to "weird suspects and exotic weapons?" Apparently the NYPD of Michael Jahn's imagination does, for weird and exotic is what Captain Bill Donovan specializes in. In Murder on Theatre Row Donovan is confronted with murder-by-crossbow at a performance of "Casablanca: The Musical." In the course of solving this peculiar crime, Donovan will run across a dead vaudevillian, an alcoholic critic and an English Impresario with a taste in musicals so bad as to rival that of Zero Mostel's character in The Producers.
Okay, so the plot's outrageous and the investigative methods a mite shaky. Still, anyone who loves show business will enjoy this ride through the backstage world of Times Square accompanied by the quirky characters Jahn scatters liberally throughout his story.
