DEAD MAN DANCING

Hannah Ives knows what it means to be a survivor, but will ballroom dancing be the death of her?

Driving a wedge between Ruth and her fiancé, Hutch, is not what Hannah intends when she recommends J & K Dance Studios to her sister. Ruth is determined to shine on her wedding day, but when Kay Giannotti, the svelte, stunning half of J & K, floats across the floor to greet Hutch with a kiss, it’s clear this isn’t the first time they’ve met. Setting jealously aside, Ruth dazzles the instructors with her footwork, and Jay Giannotti charms the couple into auditioning for Shall We Dance?, a TV talent show.

Then Ruth is sidelined by a brutal attack, and Hutch is partnered with Melanie, whose deafness is no bar to success. The couple is waltzing to a win, until a ruthless killer turns the competition into a blood sport. Hannah steps in, and the dancing gets down and dirty.

Jealous partners, pushy mothers, brats in rhinestones, hired thugs … will Hannah discover who is capable of murder before the final tango?
