Milwaukee Lakefront, the setting of The Mystery of Things
In this stunning debut novel by Debra Murphy, a brilliant young Shakespeare scholar is targeted by a killer inspired by Shakespeare’s most frightening villains.
James Ireton is haunted by a tragic past and recurring nightmares of a Knight, a Lady and a vicious Dragon. James thinks they’re just dreams, unconnected to the chaos of his waking life; but when two people close to him fall victim in a seemingly motiveless series of brutal murders, James discovers there may be a very modern sort of Dragon preying in the shadows of his life. Worse, if he doesn’t find a bit of St. George in himself, the woman he loves may prove the Dragon’s ultimate victim.
