Haunt me still

Shakespearean scholar Kate Stanley and Ben Pearl, her partner in crime-solving, find themselves in a desperate race to discover a lost version of "Macbeth," said to contain rituals of witchcraft aimed at conjuring demonic forces to gain forbidden knowledge. However much Kate would like to dismiss such rituals as superstition, someone else appears willing to kill for them--and for the manuscript said to spell them out.

  • ""As Kate Stanley begins directing rehearsals for Macbeth at the foot of Scotland's Dunsinnan Hill, it doesn't take long for the legendary curse on Shakespeare's evil-ridden play to stir. Strange references emerge to the boy actor who first played Lady Macbeth in Shakespeare's day and died in the role. A trench atop the hill is found filled with blood shortly after some of the actors go missing. And a mysterious tarot card leads Kate into the woods where she finds a local woman dead in circumstances that suggest not just ritual murder, but ancient pagan sacrifice. With Kate marked as both suspect and future victim, she and Ben Pearl race to discover an early version of Macbeth, said to contain actual rituals of witchcraft and forbidden knowledge. However much Kate would like to dismiss such rituals as superstition, someone else appears willing to kill for them - and for the cursed manuscript said to be Shakespeare's darkest secret."--Taken from Author's website."
  • "שלוש דמויות, עטופות שחורים מכף רגל עד ראש, ריחפו במעגל סביב קדירה גדולה שהוצבה במרכז האולם, קולותיהן מתמזגים לניגון יחיד שחלקו גניחה וחלקו לחישה. מקבת, מחזהו רדוף המכשפות של המשורר המהולל ויליאם שייקספיר, נחשב ליצירה מקוללת. קייט סטנלי, במאית המתמחה במחזותיו של שייקספיר, מגיעה לגבעת דנסינן, המקום שבו הובס מקבת, כדי להתחיל בחזרות להפקה מיוחדת של המחזה.ואכן, לא חולף זמן רב והקללה מתחילה לפעול: אחדים מהשחקנים נעלמים, בראש הגבעה מתגלה מחפורת מלאה דם, וקלף טארוט מסתורי מוביל את קייט אל היער, שם היא מוצאת גופה של אישה שמתה בנסיבות המרמזות לא רק על רצח פולחני, אלא אף על טקס פגאני של העלאת קורבן אדם.כאשר קייט מוצאת את עצמה מסומנת לא רק כחשודה ברצח אלא גם כקורבן עתידי, היא ובן פרל, הגבר שכבר הציל את חייה בעת מסע בעקבות מחזה אבוד אחר של שייקספיר, יוצאים לחפש גרסה מוקדמת ומסוכנת של מקבת הכוללת, כמשוער, טקסי כישוף אמיתיים וידע אסור. קייט אינה מאמינה בכשפים ומעדיפה להתייחס אליהם כאל אמונות טפלות, אך אחרים מוכנים לסחוט ולהרוג כדי להשיג את כתב היד המקולל, שאמור להכיל את סודותיו האפלים ביותר של שייקספיר."
