The year is 1597. Elizabeth is queen. Shakespeare and the Lord Chamberlain'€™s Men are packing London'€™s Globe Theatre. And the severed heads of Catholic insurgents are impaled on the Tower'€™s gates. One 14-year-old boy should arouse no one'€™s interest. But within a week of his arrival, Richard Malory is robbed, beaten, and threatened at knifepoint. Someone wants him to leave London, and Richard is determined to find out why. There'€™s only one place he'€™ll be safe: as an actor on the stage. As he begins to unravel the traitorous plot that has ensnared him, Richard must make a difficult decision. Will he play the part set out for him'€”or can he become the playmaker of his own life? From the Trade Paperback edition.
