The Shakespeare murders
by A. G. Macdonell
About
When gentleman-adventurer Peter Kerrigan retrieves a stolen wallet from a pick- pocket, he discovers a small note inside that sparks his curiosity.
"Dear Harry, This is written in great haste. A wonderful thing has happened to me, and before long I shall be worth at least a million pounds..."
On a hunt for the mysterious treasure, Kerrigan becomes entangled in a murder investigation, at the heart of which is the malevolent Shakespeare Riddle. As the body count rises and the police become increasingly baffled, the treasure hunt mutates into a desperate struggle for survival; Kerrigan must do all he can to solve the riddle if he is to escape becoming its latest victim.
Eccentric, unfathomable, amusing and hugely gratifying, *The Shakespeare Murders* is a feast of ingenuity and entertainment; a marvelously indulgent plunge into the creative mind of a master crime-writer at the peak of his form.
