The Shakespeare Conspiracy: The Story of the Greatest Literary Deception of All Time

The Shakespeare Conspiracy: The Story of the Greatest Literary Deception of All Time

A Novel by Ted Bacino

PALM SPRINGS, Calif., Feb. 24, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- For centuries, two questions have plagued historians:

-- How could Christopher Marlowe, a known spy and England's foremost
playwright, be suspiciously murdered and secretly buried in unmarked
grave - just days before he was to be tried for treason and probably
sentenced to death?
-- How could William Shakespeare replace Marlowe as England's greatest
playwright virtually overnight - when Shakespeare had never written
anything before and was merely an unknown actor? Historians have noted
that he was better known at that time "for holding horses for the gentry
while they watched plays."

The Shakespeare Conspiracy is a historical novel that intertwines both mysteries and then put the pieces together to offer the only possible solution. The novel, a wild romp through 16th Century Elizabethan England, is a rapidly unfolding detective narrative - filled with comedy, intrigue, murder and an illicit love story. Although every detail in the book is based on facts, actual documents and records, the novel gives flesh and dialogue to those characters caught in the conspiracy.

The book exposes the scandalous real Shakespeare, with his sexual peccadilloes and mistresses, and reveals the world of Marlowe, who reveled in the gay world like so many English kings at that time.

A movie of the book is presently being prepared by the Motion Picture Hall of Fame Corporation. No release date has been set.

The author, Ted Bacino, is a former newspaper reporter and educator who presently lives in Italy, France and Palm Springs, California. He has a BA and MS from Northern Illinois University and a KSG from Harvard. Mr. Bacino, who has directed musical theater for almost fifty years, received a Star on the Palm Springs Walk of Fame for directing in 2005.
