Product Description
by Howard Gimple (Author)
Jordan Day, the young head of the Melville University's Special Collections library, is told her department is slated for elimination due to budget cuts. Then out of the blue, the university's most esteemed professor declares that he will donate to her department a table that once belonged to William Shakespeare. He then announces that this newly discovered artifact provides definitive proof that Shakespeare never wrote the works attributed to him.
Thrilled that the donation will take her department off the chopping block, Jordan's relief turns to despair when she finds the professor's severed head impaled on a pole outside her window and the priceless table nowhere to be found. Things get worse when she is accused of stealing Shakespeare's table and is named a suspect in the professor's murder.
To save her department and clear her name, Jordan must find Shakespeare's table, reveal the real murderer and discover who really wrote the works of William Shakespeare. All while navigating the back-biting, petty jealousies and and academic treachery that characterizes university life.
