Rotten At The Heart (William Shakespeare Detective)

by Bartholomew Daniels (Author)

Synopsis

Who better to solve a crime than the keenest observer of human nature in history? Rotten at the Heart is the first in a series of Shakespearean mysteries featuring and narrated by the Bard himself. London, 1596. With his patron's mysterious death leaving Will on the brink of ruin and eviction, he's forced to fall back on his own inimitable powers of observation in order to ferret out the killer and in so doing unravel a conspiracy that goes straight to the beating heart of the court of Queen Elizabeth I. Rooted in historical fact and written in Will's own accessibly Elizabethan voice, Rotten At the Heart explores the intersection of religion, politics, and corruption, and underscores the sacrifices that honour demands when a troubled man finally discovers his own. Introducing Wm. Shakespeare: Detective. For fans of David Liss and, of course, Shakespeare himself -

Author Bio
Bartholomew Daniels is an avid book collector and it was through his purchase of a wooden chest of unwanted novels and forgotten papers at an estate sale in Illinois last year that he made the extraordinary discovery of several lost Shakespeare journals. Bartholomew is also a close friend of novelist Dan O'Shea, who encouraged him to set about editing these manuscripts so that modern readers might be able to thrill to them also. Bartholomew Daniels said: Shakespeare the writer is the colossus of English literature. But Shakespeare the man is an enigma. These manuscripts I've been privileged enough to discover and edit cast new light on Shakespeare's secret life as a detective in the cut-throat world of Elizabethan England. Bartholomew Daniels was from his mother's womb untimely ripped on April 23, 1959. The Chicago-area writer is a long-time Shakespeare aficionado, and sees the chance to edit the Bard's lost journals detailing Shakespeare's unfortunate adventures as an unwilling Elizabethan gumshoe as the chance of a lifetime. Mr. Daniels can be reached online at bdaniels423@yahoo.com or you can follow him on Twitter as @BardBoiled. In real life, due to legal entanglements and security concerns surrounding the lost manuscripts, Mr. Daniels lives at a secure, undisclosed location.
