Natasha Kutchka, famed Kirov prima ballerina, and Sergei Bolstov, artistic director of the Kirov, are in the United States as part of a Cultural Exchange. Or are they? 

Secret codes are dropped, mysterious letters passed, and art soon gives way to a plot of international espionage. Detective Hudson Hotchkiss, actor by week and private eye by weekend, finds himself the sole orchestrator of justice when an American musician who is also a spy for the Soviet Union is shot dead.

With whimsy and lines borrowed from Broadway shows, he solves the mystery and has the hills alive with the sound of music.
