    A long-lost work of Shakespeare, newly found. A killer who stages the Bard’s extravagant murders as flesh-and-blood realities. A desperate race to find literary gold, and just to stay alive. . . . On the eve of the Globe’s production of Hamlet, Shakespeare scholar and theater director Kate Stanley’s eccentric mentor Rosalind Howard gives her a mysterious box, claiming to have made a groundbreaking discovery. But before she can reveal it to Kate, the Globe burns to the ground and Roz is found dead . . . murdered precisely in the manner of Hamlet’s father. Inside the box Kate finds the first piece in a Shakespearean puzzle, setting her on a deadly, high-stakes treasure hunt. From London to Harvard to the American West, Kate races to evade a killer and decipher a tantalizing string of clues, hidden in the words of Shakespeare, that may unlock literary history’s greatest secret. At once suspenseful and elegantly written, Interred with Their Bones is poised to become the next bestselling literary adventure in the tradition of The Thirteenth Tale and The Historian.

    Il sangue che resta

    Anno del Signore 1606. Nella residenza reale di Hampton Court l'atteso debutto del Macbeth, la tragedia più fosca di William Shakespeare, si macchia di sangue: uno degli attori trova la morte in un delitto che riecheggia l'efferata violenza della finzione scenica. Da allora, per la gente di teatro, il Macbeth diventa il "dramma scozzese", la tragedia innominabile perché maledetta. Quattrocento anni dopo, nel castello di Dunsinnan sulle gelide colline della Scozia, dove fu assassinato Macbeth, una compagnia di attori si è radunata per le prove di una nuova messinscena del Macbeth diretta da Kate Stanley, brillante studiosa che di Shakespeare conosce ogni riferimento all'occulto. Quando l'attrice che interpreta Lady Macbeth sparisce all'improvviso, la leggenda della maledizione riaccende antiche superstizioni e paure. E Kate, tormentata da spaventose visioni notturne, capisce che il pericolo è reale e che solo cercando tra le pagine di una versione perduta dell'"opera senza nome", potrà scoprire l'identità di un serial killer inafferrabile, e sventare il crudele disegno che fa di lei stessa la prossima vittima.
