'Highly entertaining' Sunday Times In the last decade of Elizabeth
I's reign, Nick Revill, an aspiring young actor, comes to London
seeking fame and fortune. Once there he gains employment with the
Chamberlain's Men. Thrown out of his digs over an unfortunate
accident, Nick is offered lodgings at a wealthy Thameside mansion
by a black-clad youth whose father has just died and whose mother
has remarried his uncle. Pondering on the similarities between the
young man's story and William Shakespeare's newest tragedy, Hamlet,
Nick is charged with the task of finding out whether foul play was
involved in the death of the old man and hasty remarriage of his
young, lusty wife. As Nick works his way ever closer to the truth,
the finger of suspicion begins to point to his enigmatic employer
Mr William Shakespeare - actor, author and shareholder in the
Chamberlain's Men . . . The first gripping historical mystery in
the Nick Revill series, set in the bustling theatrical world of
William Shakespeare. Praise for Philip Gooden: 'Another clever
criminal plunge into history' Guardian '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
