NINE GIANTS: An Elizabethan Mystery

After several attacks on the company's members, Nicolas begins to suspect a connection. Could these apparently accidental events be part of some hidden design? When the Company are asked to stage one of their comedies at the Nine Giants in Richmond, Nicolas must put aside his worries and focus on the play, but as the attacks become more sinister, culminating in a grisly death, he is increasingly under pressure to prevent more disaster.
