Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

A long-lost work of Shakespeare, newly found.

A killer who stages the Bards extravagant murders as flesh-and-blood realities.

A desperate race to find literary gold, and just to stay alive. . . .

On the eve of the Globes production of Hamlet, Shakespeare scholar and theater director Kate Stanleys eccentric mentor Rosalind Howard gives her a mysterious box, claiming to have made a groundbreaking discovery. But before she can reveal it to Kate, the Globe burns to the ground and Roz is found dead . . . murdered precisely in the manner of Hamlets father. Inside the box Kate finds the first piece in a Shakespearean puzzle, setting her on a deadly, high-stakes treasure hunt.

From London to Harvard to the American West, Kate races to evade a killer and decipher a tantalizing string of clues, hidden in the words of Shakespeare, that may unlock literary history's greatest secret. At once suspenseful and elegantly written, Interred with Their Bones is poised to become the next bestselling literary adventure in the tradition of The Thirteenth Tale and The Historian

Review:

"[On] the grounds of pure ingenuity Interred With Their Bones is an entertaining achievement." Houston Chronicle

Review:

"[A] smart...notable debut literary thriller." USA Today

Review:

"This debut mystery kicks off with quite a bang...the author never lets her pace sag as the story's roots reach back to Shakepeare's time. High-class fun." Newsweek

Synopsis:

On the eve of the Globe's production of Hamlet, Shakespearean scholar Kate Shelton is given what is claimed to be the Bard's long-lost work. When a killer decides to stage theatrical murders as flesh-and-blood realities, Shelton must unlock one of history's greatest secrets.
