A riveting novella set in Elizabethan Englandβperfect for
fans of C. J. Sansom and The Tudors.
Just a
few days before Christmas, a reluctant John
Shakespeareβbrother of a rising playwrightβanswers a plea
for help from Joshua Peace, Searcher of the Dead, but he has
no idea the kind of menace he will face. A naked man has
been found in a snowdrift, a wreath of holly crowning his
head and a bullet in his back.
As all around him
prepare for the festive season, Shakespeare must unravel a
complex plot of passion and treachery and confront a
cold-blooded murderer who will not hesitate to kill again.
