Owen Elias is a surly, envious Welshman, while Sebastian Carrick is an amiable and attractive gentleman. Their onstage duels become ever more realistic, but it is an axe that splits open Sebastian's head one night in a Clerkenwell alley. Company book holder Nicholas Bracewell, accustomed to damage control, begins to investigate the victim's death and learns that in life, he was prone to make enemies from his weakness for women and his willingness to welch on debts. A web of deception has in fact been spun that stretches from lowly to high ranking courtesans, all the way to the Virgin Queen. 650 0 $a Bracewell, Nicholas (Fictitious character) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Lord Westfield's Men (Fictitious characters) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Theatrical producers and directors $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Theater $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Actors $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x History $y Elizabeth, 1558-1603 $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Mystery fiction. $2 gsafd 800 1 $a Marston, Edward. $t Nicholas Bracewell ; $v bk. 5 941 $a 1 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006095822.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6A0B06E6C93011E88539171297128E48 994 $a C0 $b UIBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
