Nicholas Talbot is heartbroken - his family home burned to the ground and the love of his life married to another. But more than all this, his passion for the stage has made him the progenitor of the theatre's greatest ever conspiracy. Tucked away in Verona, Kit Marlowe - according to history a dead man, killed in a tavern brawl - continues to write his wondrous plays. Back in London, they are put on under the name of Will Shakespeare. To live without writing would be worse than death and hence, in spiriting his plays away to London, Nick is Kit's saviour... AVAILABLE FROM JUNE 2011
