'Another clever criminal plunge into history' Guardian On a foggy
morning in 1602, a boyhood friend of Nick Revill arrives in London.
When Peter Agate announces that he wants to try his hand at acting,
what can Nick do but offer him a part with his own company, the
Chamberlain's Men, who are putting on a private production of
Shakespeare's Troilus and Cressida for the lawyers of Middle
Temple. Yet within days Peter Agate is dead, stabbed to death at
Nick's lodgings - the beginning of a sequence of violent deaths,
each somehow implicating Nick himself. To avoid the hangman's noose
Nick must discover the real murderer among a cast of suspects,
including an aristocratic brother and sister, a troublemaker from a
rival company and an ex-actor who once saw the Devil himself on
stage... The fourth historical murder mystery in the Nick Revill
series, set in the bustling theatrical world of William
Shakespeare. Praise for Philip Gooden: 'Highly entertaining' Sunday
Times 'The witty narrative, laced with puns and word play so
popular in this period, makes this an enjoyable racy tale' Sunday
Telegraph 'The book has much in common with the film Shakespeare in
Love - full of colourful characters . . . but the book has an
underlying darkness' Crime Time 'Historical mystery fans are in for
a treat' Publishers Weekly
