Beschreibungen
When small-time actor Will Shakespeare is arrested for murder, Kit Marlowe must find the real killer in this ';intricately plotted' Elizabethan mystery (Publishers Weekly). March, 1587. Christopher Marlowe's play Tamburlaine, with the incomparable Ned Alleyn in the title role, has opened at the Rose Theatre, and a new era on the London stage is born. Yet the play is almost shut down on its opening night when a member of the audience, Eleanor Merchant, is struck dead by a musket ball fired from the stage. The man who pulled the trigger appears to be a bit player named Will Shakespeare. Convinced of Shakespeare's innocence, Marlowe is determined to find out what really happened. When a second body is found floating in the River Thames, it becomes clear that Eleanor Merchant's death was no accident, and that something deeper and darker is afoot. ';Fans of the series and of Edward Marston's amusing Elizabethan theater mysteries, featuring Nicholas Bracewell, will enjoy Kit Marlowe's part in the drama at the Crimson Rose.' Booklist
