History meets mystery in this debut novel set in the bustling theatrical world of Shakespeare in the reign of Elizabeth I. Nick Revill, a young actor in the newly established Chamberlain's Men company at the Globe Theatre in Southwark, is offered lodging in a mansion nearby by a melancholy black-clad youth. Learning upon his arrival that his host's father has just died and his mother has instantly remarried his uncle, Nick is naturally struck by the similarities between the man's woeful story of the Eliot family and Shakespeare's latest play for the Chamberlain's Men. Nick suspects foul play and sets out to discover the circumstances of the old man's death. Already convinced that something is indeed very rotten in the state of the wealthy Eliot household, Nick stumbles upon evidence that proves his host's father did not die a death entirely natural. More disturbingly, the finger of suspicion points towards his employer, and Nick finds himself investigating his employer, the celebrated playwright and shareholder in the Chamberlain's Men: Mr. William Shakepeare . . . Praise for Philip Gooden 'The witty narrative, laced with puns and word play so popular in this period, makes this an enjoyable racy tale' Sunday Telegraph 'Highly entertaining' Sunday Times
