Book description
When the Black Death strikes London, all the theatres are closed
down by order of the Privy Council. The Chamberlain's Men, the theatre
company Nick Revill is part of, takes up an invitation to play in
Oxford. However, it seems that the plague has followed them - but not
all deaths are as they seem.
Philip Gooden, author of the Elizabethean-set Nick Revill murder
mystery series, has had his short stories published in anthologies. He
is also editor, most recently, of The Mammoth Book of Literary
Anecdotes. He is actively involved with the Crime Writers' Association
and contributes to its magazine, Red Herrings. He lives in Bath.
