- Synopsis
- 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
