About the Book

Blood will have blood…

Elizabethan England

Thomas Middleton falls in love with the theatre scene when he is taken to see his first play, Christopher’s Marlowe’s Doctor Faustus, at fifteen.

After an education in Oxford, Tom returns to Southwark, where he is introduced to the most prominent playwrights in London.

And William Shakespeare himself takes Tom under his wing, encouraging Tom’s passion for writing.

But tragedy strikes when a member of Tom’s household is murdered, and his mother becomes the chief suspect.

Tom is forced to put his dreams on hold and return home to help clear his mother’s name.

His investigation leads him through London’s dark underworld of pimps and prostitutes, corrupt constables and ambitious courtiers as he desperately seeks the truth.

Can Tom find the real killer? Will he be able to save his mother from the gallows?

And will he find a way back to the theatre…?
