Then offstage\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eJosie Brewer has spent twelve years learning other women’s roles in a 140-seat storefront theater on Chicago’s Northwest Side. When the star of *The Winter Assize* breaks her wrist the afternoon of opening, Josie finally goes on. Before the curtain call is over, an elderly founder of the company is found frozen in the alley stairwell, dead exactly as the first juror dies in the play. A week later it happens again. Detective Marcus Hale needs someone who knows every line, every cue and every grudge in the building, and the only person who does is the understudy.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c!--aib-label--\u003e \u003csection class=\"mklabel\" aria-label=\"The Making Label\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"mklabel__h\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Making Label\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Understudy\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mklabel__tier\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCopper Seal · Step 4 of 4 · AI-made · human-curated\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"scale\"\u003e\n\u003ci class=\"on\"\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci class=\"on\"\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci class=\"on\"\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci class=\"on\"\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"scale-k\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eWritten by a person\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDrafted by AI\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdl\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eThe human part\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eCarter Luense commissioned the shelf and chose its genre: crime thrillers about murder and serial killers, all new and original.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eThe AI's part\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eClaude invented the stories, the characters and the cases, and wrote every word.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eTools\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eClaude, by Anthropic\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eChecked\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eWritten by Claude from a brief that set only the genre.
