[Nicholas Bracewell 07] • Le Mauvais Génie

Dame Fortune has abandoned Lord Westfield's men to calamity...

One member of the popular London acting troupe has died. Their present

production is a failure. Then an anonymous playwright hands company mainstay

Nicholas Bracewell a chance for salvation: a new script that exposes a tragic

miscarriage of justice in a murder case.

News of the impending production of The Roaring Boy swiftly reaches high

places. Long before rehearsals begin, the company is menaced by enemies who

target both script and players for destruction. For The Roaring Boy

establishes the innocence of the two people executed for the crime and points

a bold finger at the real murderer. Not even Lord Westfield, the company's

powerful patron, can save the troupe from the mortal danger that now

encompasses them...
