About this book/synopsis: The audience was merry indeed when a third devilish imp bounded onstage to join the two that had been written into the script. But backstage all was uproar. The third daemon seemed too much like the real thing. Even Nicholas Bracewell, the company mainstay, was shaken when, next time the play was given, only one devil appeared. The second, poor fellow, was now only a little read heap under the stage: Dead. Before the curtain rose again, Lord Westfield's Men would suffer the sermons of a Puritan fanatic, the enchantment of passion, the terror of a London madhouse, prophecies of a famous alchemist, and danger as they'd never known it before |

About this book/storyline: 'I hoped that we might be safe, but we have not seen the last of them, after all. They want more blood.' During a performance of their new play, 'A Trick to Catch a Chaste Lady', Westfield's Men are ambushed by hired thugs and a melee ensues. In the midst of the rotten vegetables strewn across the stage, an audience member lies dead and Barnaby Gill, the company clown, is found with a broken leg. With the company clown-less, they must find a replacement before they embark on their tour of Kent. Enter Gideon Mussett, a ruffian, scallywag and unrepentant lecher. Thinking the victim in the theatre was an accident, Nicholas Bracewell and his fellows soon learn that there is more to this death than a drunken brawl. With a murderer still on the loose, it appears further deaths are on the cards, but who will be the second victim?
