The Fifth Folio

0/5 ( ratings)

When an antiquities and literature professor from Britain takes a dive from his downtown Denver hotel room window, his fall plunges Prof. Melrose Gregg into another unwanted adventure. Melrose is shocked to realize that his youngest son and his older brother have a close connection to the case. It centers on a manuscript that may be the Holy Grail of English literature, the mythical Shakespearean Fifth Folio. But the manuscript is missing, a museum guard lies murdered in the vault where it was last seen, and before he knows it the unassuming English professor is knee-deep in cigarette smuggling and political corruption. Throw in an Anglican nun, a fugitive IRA assassin, and a corrupt Congressional candidate, and it isn't long before bullets are flying again. All Prof. Gregg wants to do is survive to teach college freshmen about transitional phrases one more year, but when he's bound hand and foot and dangled over a rain-swollen river, he has to wonder whether he's diagrammed his last sentence. "The Fifth Folio" is the exciting follow-up to novice novelist Jeff Rice's gripping 2014 offering, "The Virtual Monk."
