Murder by Manuscript

In this second installment of the adventures of Stella Pentangeli, "Lady Showbiz Detective," and Inspector Ng, a taciturn Chinese cop, the two detectives are entangled in a centuries-old mystery involving William Shakespeare and a resurrection cult. As they seek to discover the dramatist's involvement in the group, they encounter a variety of obstacles, including a present- day murderer who is following Shakespeare's recipe for "resurrection soup" but is using his fellow citizens for ingredients.
