Features: The novel The Phantom of the Opera by French writer Gaston Leroux is world-renowned, having been adapted into numerous stage and film productions and becoming a staple of Broadway. This book is a sequel written by the renowned British best-selling novelist Frederick Forsyth, successfully continuing the style of the original work with its intricate plot and vivid characters. Eric, who had hijacked a chorus girl named Christine in the Paris Opera years ago, was secretly helped to sneak into New York, where he partnered with Dumas and set up one scheme after another, gradually becoming a wealthy man in New York. Due to his unremarkable appearance and his constant wearing of a mask, he could not be seen in the daytime, and the legend of the "Manhattan Phantom" spread like wildfire. Thirteen years later, Eric finally got the chance to settle the score from back then; he invited Christine to perform on stage, hoping she would come around and accept his unwavering love. Unbeknownst to him, this act triggered a series of chain reactions, uncovering a long-buried secret. Love and family ties, humanity and savagery, are intertwined in complex ways on and off the stage.
