THE ALLEYN MYSTERIES
When the Dolphin Theatre is given to Peregrine Jay by a wealthy but mysterious patron, he is overjoyed – but puzzled.
When he is also given a glove that belonged to Shakespeare, Peregrine displays it in the dock-side theatre and writes a play about it – which is an enormous success.
But then a murder takes place, a boy is attacked, the glove is stolen. Could it be that oil and water don't mix?
Inspector Roderick Alleyn is determined to find out...
