A tip for the hangman : a novel / Allison Epstein.

• England, 1585. In Christopher (Kit) Marlowe's last year at Cambridge, Queen Elizabeth's spymaster approaches him with an unusual career opportunity: going undercover to prevent Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots, from plotting her way to the English throne. Spying on Mary turns out to be more than Kit bargained for, but his salary allows him to mount his first play, and over the following years he becomes the toast of London's raucous theater scene. But when Kit finds himself drawn back into the world of espionage, he realizes one wrong move could make everything he's worked so hard to attain -- including the trust of the man he loves -- vanish in an instant. Pairing modern language with period detail, Allison Epstein brings the lavish Tudor court, the colorful world of Elizabethan theater, and the squalid streets of sixteenth-century London to vivid, teeming life. At the center of the action is Kit Marlowe himself -- an irrepressible, irreverent force of nature -- Cover page 4.
