"Tap-tapping the keys and out come the words on this little screen, and who will read them I hardly know. I could be dead by the time anyone actually gets to read them, as dead as, say, Tolstoy. Or Shakespeare...

"These are the words of Jake Mishkin, whose job as an intellectual property lawyer has out him at the centre of a deadly chase to find the world's greatest treasure, Shakespeare's last, lost play.

"In a frantic race from New York to England and Switzerland, Jake finds himself matching wits with a shadowy figure who seems to anticipate his every move. What at first seems like a thrilling puzzle waiting to be deciphered soon turns into a dangerous game in which no one - family, friends, lovers - is to be trusted.

"'The Book of Air and Shadows' is a modern thriller that moves deftly between the twenty-first and seventeenth centuries, brilliantly re-creating the time of Shakespeare and combining an ingenious conspiracy with a devastating portrait of a contemporary man on the brink of self-discovery...or self-destruction."

Bit of a confusing book - seems to be three-four stories rolled into one; but once you get the general gist; it starts becoming a big of a fast-paced, action thriller revolving around a mystical Shakespearean work.

Not really sure if I liked it, but my interest was piqued enough to spend the entire weekend reading it just to find out. As I said - I am not sure if I really liked the author's style, but I know it will be one of those novels that will attract many readers.

Will leave in the downstairs waiting room of the hospital.
