A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

The mysterious Simon Chaloner appears at the Queen's Head Pub following a performance by Lord Westfield's Men, a leading Elizabethan company of players. Then Chaloner follows producer Nicholas Bracewell and playwright Edmund Hoode home and gives them each a manuscript called The Roaring Boy, a drama based on events surrounding the murder of a mathematician. When Bracewell and Hoode stage the play, the performance causes a riot, sending Hoode to prison. In order to save his men, Bracewell must solve two murders - one being that on which the play is based. Brimful of period and theatrical detail, this seventh - in - series novel won a 1996 Edgar Allan Poe Award nomination.
