Synopsis

A world-famous soprano comes home to bury her father — and finds a house full of people who wanted him dead.

When opera star Sarita Verdugo returns to Mexico City from a triumphant European tour, it's for the worst possible reason: her father, the wealthy and wheelchair-bound Ricardo Manuel Verdugo, has died in a fall from a remote mountainside pavilion. At her side is her American press agent and lover, Kenneth Davis. Waiting at home is her younger sister, Linda — twenty-five, plain, and worn down by years spent as their father's sole caretaker, quietly furious at the sister who got to leave.

Grief doesn't get much room to breathe. The family chauffeur has his own theories about the old man's death, and no shortage of contempt for the people who employ him. A police lieutenant isn't satisfied the fall was an accident. The Verdugos' Great Dane, usually gentle, has started attacking without warning — and just as suddenly forgetting he ever did. And Linda has fallen for a mariachi trumpet player with plans of his own for the Verdugo fortune.

As "accidents" keep happening around the estate — a growling dog in the dark, a near-miss at the opera house, a late-night confrontation nobody survives — it becomes clear that whoever is orchestrating them is patient, careful, and already inside the house.

The Fearmaker is Verland T Whipple's tightly wound screenplay of inheritance, obsession, and a killer hiding in plain sight — building to a reversal that turns everything the reader thought they knew about the Verdugo sisters inside out.

This edition includes the complete original screenplay, formatted for reading, along with a full plot synopsis.
