Learn morePeter Fallon, the hero of William Martin's bestselling novel Back Bay, has found evidence that a priceless treasure—an undiscovered Shakespeare play—is hidden somewhere in the venerable halls of Harvard University. An antiquarian who knows many of the school’s carefully guarded secrets, Fallon understands the powerful implications of the discovery. But as he delves into the school’s past—from witch hangings to the fires of the Civil War to the riotous 1960s—he learns that men and women have risked death, disgrace, and banishment in pursuit of this invaluable relic. And, as he uncovers rifts between generations, families, friends, and lovers, Fallon begins to understand something else: that finding this landmark manuscript is a matter of life and death.
New York Times bestselling author WILLIAM MARTIN is best known for his historical fiction, which chronicles the lives of the great and the anonymous in American history while bringing to life legendary American locations, from Cape Cod to Annapolis to The City of Dreams. His first novel, Back Bay, introduced Boston treasure hunter Peter Fallon, who is still tracking artifacts across the landscape of our national imagination. Martin received a New England Book Award, given to "an author whose body of work stands as a significant contribution to the culture of the region."
