“The Maltese Bodkin” is a
murder mystery by David Belke.
Here is the synopsis, according
to his website, www.davidbelke.
ca:
“Times were tough for hard-
boiled detective Birnam Wood.
He never asked to be in Lon-
don. Especially in 1605. When
Wood’s partner is killed, he has
to fi nd the killer among a cast of
suspects that includes Richard
III, Falstaff , Iago, Mercutio and
a merchant from Venice. The
worlds of fi lm noir and Shake-
speare collide in this ‘who hath
done it.’”
