Blurb (from back cover): "The moment Thomas Knight saw the strange, vacant eyes pressed to his kitchen window, he knew she was dead. What he had yet to learn was the woman had recently claimed to be in possession of a long-lost-and now priceless-literary treasure: Shakespeare's Love's Labour's Won.
"The police aren't interested in old plays, especially one many scholars don't believe ever existed. But Thomas is convinced that the play is real, tht it is out there-somewhere-and that it somehow holds the key to the woman's death...and perhaps other, stranger secrets as well.
"His pursuit of the truth takes him to ancient sites a continent away, through the rarefied air of academia, and deeper into intrigue and danger. To uncover that lies at the heart of the mystery, Thomas will have to enter a story that drags loss and death after it like a Shakespearean tragedy-a story bound to time and all it devours."
Opinion: An interest look at academia and Shakespeare. For a more complete review, please check out Myshelf in the upcoming months.
