An action-packed adventure that hurtles from modern-day London, Boston and Arizona to the dark secrets of Shakespeare's past.
A modern serial killer - hunting an ancient secret. A woman is left to die as the rebuilt Globe theatre burns. Another woman is drowned like Ophelia, skirts swirling in the water. A professor has his throat slashed open on the steps of Washington s Capitol building. A deadly serial killer is on the loose, modelling his murders on Shakespeare s plays. But why is he killing? And how can he be stopped?
A gripping, shocking page turner, THE SHAKESPEARE SECRET masterfully combines modern murder and startling true revelations from the life of Shakespeare. It has been acclaimed as one of the most compulsively readable thrillers of recent years.
