Il Morte di Figaro or "I Know Why the Fat Lady Sings"

by David J. Fielding

author of the cowboy show "Shoot Out at the Double U Dude Ranch or Montana Marie Gets Gunned Down at Three"

Several kooky characters in a failing opera company, their lives and destinies intricately intertwined with the business and each other, are confronted with a grizzly murder on the opening night of their newest operatic masterpiece.
