Shakespearean Whodunnits - Mike Ashley

Twenty new, specially commissioned stories, starring Shakespearean detectives Falstaff, Mark Antony, and Orlando, focus on investigating the dire deeds in Shakespeare's plays--for example, Romeo and Juliet's deaths, Falstaff's setup in The Merry Wives of Windsor, and Cleopatra's suicide. As the Bard would say, Murder most foul.
