like me who've become quietly addicted to Louis Bayard's historical novels of
suspense—the first, Mr. Timothy, imagined Dickens's Tiny Tim as a
Victorian-era sleuth; the second, The Pale Blue Eye, detailed the
adventures of Edgar Allan Poe as a West Point cadet—will welcome this new one,
about a disgraced scholar in modern-day Washington, D.C., who follows the trail
of a missing letter into the secretive world of Elizabethan intrigue, with
perilous results.
