The Shakespeare Thief

Bookworm Elliot Todd realises his dream of running a bookshop in a small provincial town. Though he is yet to find his soulmate, he is for the most part contented. Then, one day, events take a dramatic turn. The death of the 'Shakespeare expert' Harry Nielsen, following a talk at the bookshop, marks the beginning of a tangled web of intrigue leading to a thrilling conclusion. 'A real page-turner. A murder mystery, with Shakespearean echoes, set in the world of books. What more could a reader ask for?' Tim Pears, author of In Place of Fallen Leaves, In a land of Plenty and The Horseman. 'The Shakespeare Thief is a very enjoyable book with lively characters and a rollicking plot.' Alexander Waugh. Author of Shakespeare in Court.
