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. Это и многое другое вы найдете в книге The Book of Air and Shadows (Michael Gruber)
