Book Description
When a seance reveals clues about a long-forgotten murder, Police Commissioner Thatcher Colt is skeptical but intrigued. A scientist-turned-parapsychologist claims a spirit told him of a woman named Madeline who was killed, dismembered, and stuffed into a box thrown into the ocean near a popular beach. Unwilling to dismiss the outlandish story, Colt discreetly dispatches his men to investigate. To his shock, divers discover a decayed wooden box containing over 200 human bones...the fragmented remains of the alleged victim. Though Colt refuses to believe in spirits, he can't ignore that a supernatural tip-off has uncovered a decades-old crime. This thrilling mystery will keep readers guessing as Colt pursues the cold case, questioning how a paranormal prophecy could uncover a body yet yield no clues about the motive or murderer.

William Shakespeare Complete Works Second Edition
Author: William Shakespeare
Publisher: Modern Library
ISBN: 0593230310
Category : Drama
Languages : en
Pages : 2549
Book Description
The newly revised, wonderfully authoritative First Folio of William Shakespeare’s Complete Works, edited by acclaimed Shakespearean scholars and endorsed by the world-famous Royal Shakespeare Company Skillfully assembled by Shakespeare’s fellow actors in 1623, the First Folio was the original Complete Works—arguably the most important literary work in the English language. But starting with Nicholas Rowe in 1709 and continuing to the present day, Shakespeare editors have mixed Folio and Quarto texts, gradually corrupting the original Complete Works with errors and conflated textual variations. The second edition of the Complete Works features annotations and commentary from Jonathan Bate and Eric Rasmussen—two of today’s preeminent Shakespeare scholars—as well as cutting-edge textual design, on-page glossaries for contemporary readers, stage directions from RSC directors, a sixteen-page insert of photographs from RSC production shorts, a timeline of the plays and poems, and family trees for the Histories. Combining innovative scholarship with brilliant commentary and textual analysis that emphasizes performance history and values, this landmark edition is indispensable to students, theater professionals, and general readers alike.
