This time, Kate becomes embroiled in a murder surrounding Macbeth, the Bard's famously cursed play. As Kate and company begin rehearsals at the foot of Scotland's Dunsinnan Hill, she discovers a local woman dead in circumstances that suggest ancient pagan sacrifice.

About the Author:
Jennifer Lee Carrell holds a Ph.D. in English and American literature from Harvard University and is the author of The Speckled Monster: A Historical Tale of Battling Smallpox. In addition to writing for Smithsonian magazine, Carrell has taught in the history and literature program at Harvard and has directed Shakespeare for Harvard’s Hyperion Theatre Company. She lives in Tucson, Arizona.
From Booklist:
The quest for knowledge, particularly forbidden knowledge, is at the heart of this literary thriller based on the premise that Shakespeare’s Macbeth originally included magical rites omitted by the playright after a young actor died before the play’s premiere. Acclaimed actress Lady Nairn recruits Kate Stanley, academic-turned-Shakespearean-director, to find the original manuscript and stage the play, immersing Kate in a deadly hunt involving the occult. Trying to save Nairn’s granddaughter from unseen forces that also want the manuscript, Kate travels from Scotland to London to New York and back, with timely assistance from her former lover, security expert Ben Pearl. The foreboding atmosphere, during which brutal ritual murders are committed, is interrupted by sixteenth- and seventeenth-century accounts that build the case for the novel’s thesis, based on Carrell’s considerable research (as explained in an afterword). While Shakespeare scholars may quibble (as they did with the author’s previous novel, Interred with Their Bones, 2007) and while explication of arcane information occasionally impedes action, general readers are likely to be swept along as the level of danger increases, with the ongoing relationship between Kate and Ben a bonus. --Michele Leber
