Publisher's Synopsis

A clever, pacey thriller set around the search for a lost Shakespearean play.A lost manuscript and it's secrets buried for centuries.An encrypted trail that leads to incalculable wealth.A distinguished Shakespearean scholar tortured to death.All clues inn a dangerous hunt to find a hidden treasure that men are willing to kill - and die - for...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.
