Assassin's Code

By Professor Alex Woolf and Alex Woolf

"There are dangers here . . . Plots are being hatched. People aren't all they seem."
Journey back in time to Elizabethan London where schemers lurk and deadly traps await--and meet some real-life characters, including William Shakespeare himself.

Alice Fletcher works--disguised as a boy--as a stagehand at the renowned Globe Theatre. When her brother mysteriously vanishes after delivering a coded message in a seedy area of London, she seeks the help of Tom Cavendish, servant to the power-hungry Earl of Essex. But could she and Tom be getting themselves in deeper than they bargained for? Rich with the heady atmosphere of political intrigue--including a plot to assassinate Queen Elizabeth--and featuring such historical figures as Sir Francis Bacon and the Bard, this swiftly paced, suspenseful story will keep young readers on the edge of their seats.
