Mystery Historical
As The New Globe Players bring laughter to audiences with
their production of Shakespeare’s comedy Twelfth Night,
Suzanne Thornton must bring justice to the tragic victim
of
a brutal murder.
When the body of a young boy—murdered, mutilated, and
clothed in women’s attire—is found under London Bridge,
Constable Pepper believes him to be a member of The New
Globe Players, one of the actors who specialize in women’s
parts.
He is not, but Suzanne, summoned to make an
identification,
does recognize him from an encounter in the tavern the
night
before—as the alluring doxy who caught the eye of more
than
a few of the patrons. Suzanne suspects that whoever hired
him for the night reacted violently when his true sex was
discovered.
Moved by the lad’s fate, Suzanne determines to find his
killer. And first, she must uncover his identity—an
investigation that leads her to one of England’s
wealthiest
families and a powerful politician determined to keep the
truth from being revealed at all costs.
