The case of the gilded fly
(Book)

"A Felony & Mayhem mystery"--Title page verso.

Theater companies are notorious hotbeds of intrigue, and few are more intriguing than the company currently in residence at Oxford University. Center-stage is the beautiful, malicious Yseut--a mediocre actress with a steller talent for destroying men. Rounding out the cast are more than a few of her past and present conquests, and the women who love them. And watching from the wings is Professor Gervase Fen--scholar, wit and fop extraordinaire--who would infinitely rather solve crimes than expound on English literature. When Yseut is murdered, Fen finally gets his wish.
