Instead of a male protagonist, it's scholar Kate Stanley's mentor who is killed, because she "found something". Kate, with the help of somewhat mysterious soldier/adventurer companion Ben, finds out that the "something" is one of Shakespeare's lost plays. Mixed in is also the question of who Shakespeare really was, and the unseen protection of another mentor/collector. It's not bad, but did not hold my attention that well. About three-quarters through the book I almost stopped caring.

If you know your Shakespeare well, or are deeply interested in the question of whether it was indeed someone named Shakespeare who wrote the plays, you will probably have much more fun with this book.
