The first murder : a historical mystery
1154, Oseney Priory, Oxford. When the first performance of The Play of Adam ends in tragedy, the author is compelled to pen a grim warning for the generations that follow: beware the sins of envy and vainglory, else foul murder ends you story. But his words are not heeded, and as the play is performed in many guises throughout the ages, bad luck seems to follow after those involved in its production. 2012.
