The Dead Hamlets

By Peter Darbyshire

Just when you think things can't get worse, that's when they get worse.

When the immortal Cross drunkenly stumbles into a darkened Berlin theatre, he does not expect to find the faerie queen and her court staging a production of Hamlet for an audience of the dead. But a mysterious ghost is haunting the faerie performances of the play and the faerie expect Cross to solve the mystery or risk his daughter, Amelia, becoming the next victim. With the fate of Amelia in the balance Cross races against time to find out what the ghost wants. His quest takes him through theatrical history and into the hidden, supernatural secrets of his own past. Along the way he must contend with a cast of characters straight out of a Shakespeare play, including the real Witches of Macbeth, an undead Christopher Marlowe and even the Bard himself. Will the show go on? Or will this be the final curtain for Cross?
