DROWNED BOOK is a complex, tricksy, action-packed literary mystery tale. It centres upon the book of the title –which might just be the long-lost autograph manuscript of Shakespeare's last play 'Mary Queen of Scots', written to rehabilitate the new King's mother in the minds of the nation; and offers the reader entrance into a world in which antiquarian books collectors, bookbinding experts, literary academia, intellectual rights lawyers and Russian gangsters butt up against one another in a thoroughly violent but engaging and page-turning fashion.

Book Description Condition: Muy bueno. A Clever, Pacey Thriller Set Around The Search For A Lost Shakespearean Play. Tap-Tapping The Keys And Out Come The Words On This Little Screen, And Who Will Read Them I Hardly Know. I Could Be Dead By The Time Anyone Actually Gets To Read Them, As Dead As, Say, Tolstoy. Or Shakespeare. Does It Matter, When You Read, If The Person Who Wrote Still Lives? These Are The Words Of Jake Mishkin, Whose Seemingly Innocent Job As An Intellectual Property Lawyer Has Put Him At The Centre Of A Deadly Conspiracy And Hunt To Find A Priceless Treasure Connected To William Shakespeare. As He Awaits A Killer-Or Killers-Unknown, Jake Writes An Account Of The Events That Led To This Deadly Endgame, A Frantic Chase That Began When A Fire In An Antiquarian Bookstore Revealed The Hiding Place Of Letters Containing A Shocking Secret, Concealed For Four Hundred Years. In A Frantic Race From New York To England And Switzerland, Jake Finds Himself Matching Wits With A Shadowy Figure Who Seems To Anticipate His Every Move. What At First Seems Like A Thrilling Puzzle Waiting To Be Deciphered Soon Turns Into A Dangerous Game Of Cat-And-Mouse, Where No One Not Family, Not Friends, Not Lovers Is To Be Trusted. Moving Between Twenty-First-Century America And Seventeenth-Century England, The Book Of Air And Shadows Is A Modern Thriller That Brilliantly Re-Creates William Shakespeare'S Life At The Turn Of The Seventeenth Century And Combines An Ingenious And Intricately Layered Plot With A Devastating Portrait Of A Contemporary Man On The Brink Of Self-Discovery . . . Or Self-Destruction.EAN: 9780007257935 Tipo: Libros Categoría: Título: The Book of Air And ShadowsAutor: michael-gruber Idioma: EN Formato: Tapa blanda Peso: 295.
