About This Book
Starred Review. In this ingenious literary thriller from Gruber (The
Witch's Boy), the lives of two men are changed forever by William
Shakespeare and the letters of Richard Bracegirdle, a 16th-century
English spy and soldier. Jake Mishkin, a Manhattan intellectual property
attorney and a bit of a rake, goes on the run from Russian gangsters.
Albert Crosetti, an aspiring filmmaker working for an antiquarian
bookstore, finds that life is more exciting than movies -- perhaps too
exciting. Together, Mishkin and Crosetti travel to England in search of
a previously unknown Shakespeare manuscript mentioned by Bracegirdle.
Though the pace sometimes slows to allow Mishkin, Crosetti and
Bracegirdle to divulge interesting aspects of their personal lives,
these digressions only make the story more engaging. The suspense
created around the double-crosses and triple-crosses works because of
the close connection readers forge with Crosetti in particular. The
mysterious murder of a Shakespearean scholar, shootouts in the streets
of Queens and an unlikely romance all combine to make for a gripping,
satisfying read. --From Publishers Weekly
