Synopsis
One play, two murders and a grievous miscarriage of justice After a calamitous performance and the death of one of their own, Lord Westfield’s Men are more than despondent. So when the mysterious Simon Chaloner follows Nicholas Bracewell home with an offer of a new play, anonymously penned, his offer seems too good to refuse. It is a story of a simple death used to conceal a greater treachery, perhaps even treason. But they could never have known how dangerous one play could be. Or how telling the tale of a murdered mathematician might put them all in jeopardy. It is up to Nick to once more save the acting troupe from disaster, to reveal the traitor that threatens both Queen and country, and to prove who really killed The Roaring Boy.

Review
This is the seventh in the series of Elizabethan theater mysteries featuring Nicholas Bracewell. A mysterious stranger named Simon Chaloner appears at the Queen's Head Pub following a performance by Westfield's Men, one of the leading theater companies. Chaloner follows Nicholas Bracewell and playwright Edmund Hoode home and gives them a manuscript called The Roaring Boy, based on events surrounding the murder of a mathematician. When Bracewell and Hoode stage the play, the performance causes a riot, and Hoode is imprisoned. In order to save his company, Bracewell must solve the vicious murder on which the play is based. A finalist for the Edgar Award, this, like Marston's other works, is filled with careful period detail as well as suspense.
