Kate Stanley is the director of the redesigned Globe Theatre in London. She is visited by her former Professor from Harvard and provided an obscure message about a secret that is about to be uncovered. As strange events and murders start occurring, Kate and her unlikely entourage start roaming the globe and trying to evade a deadly killer who not only leaves dead bodies in his wake but also burnt remains of original Shakespeare folios.

The book reads like a da Vinci Code for Shakespeare lovers and follows a similar formula. The author is a genuine Shakespeare expert and as such the book provides a lot of interesting details and a somewhat plausible story. It shows you once again that whoever Shakespeare might be and whether he has actually written the huge volume of works revered by literature and theatre lovers today, he is representing a series of works unlike any other in the English language.
