October 1604. Plague has hit London, and the theatres are closed. But the capital's loss is Plymouth's gain, when a London theatre troupe, the Company, arrive on their 'Plague Tour'. Country physician Gabriel Taverner is bewitched and unnerved by the Company's sexually charged staging of OTHELLO. But when Gabriel's friend tells him of a dangerous, whispered conversation overheard during a brief break, he is relieved the Company will soon be on their way. Then one of the actors collapses, and Gabriel finds himself caught in a waking nightmare, where nothing is as it appears. Death is stalking the Company - but how can Gabriel hope to catch a cold-blooded killer, if he can't even trust the evidence of his own eyes?

There’s always magic in these novels
Most authors write stories but Alys Clare writes literature. I don’t have the knowledge to explain the difference but that there is one I’m very sure. A fascinating subject and an utterly convincing portrayal of time and place. I have huge respect for Ays Clare who is very well served by the excellent John Telfer. What a rich and rewarding combination. I’m very much looking forward to the next novel and I hope that John Telfer will be recounting it to me.
