Publisher Comments:

In February 1835, the cold New Orleans streets are alight with masked Mardi Gras revelers as the American Theaters impresario, Lorenzo Belaggio, brings a magnificent yet controversial operatic version of Othello to town. But its pitch-black in the alley where free man of color Benjamin January hears a slurred whisper, spies the flash of a knife, and is himself wounded as he rescues Belaggio from a vicious attack. Could competition for audiences—or for Belagios affections—provoke such violent skulduggery? Or is Shakespeares tragic tale, with its spectacle of a black mans passion for a white beauty, one that some Creole citizen—or American parvenu—would do anything to keep off the stage? The soaring music will lead January into a tangle of love, hate, and greed more treacherous than any onstage drama, as he must discover who is responsible...and who will Die Upon a Kiss.

Synopsis:

As impresario Lorenzo Belaggio brings a controversial operatic version of "Othello" to 1835 New Orleans, he is attacked outside the theater and is saved by free man Benjamin January, who is a wounded by the knife meant for Belaggio. As he investigates, January is led into a tangle of love, hate, and greed more treacherous than any play. (May)
