Lord Westfield's Men,the most successful troupe in London and a prime target for jealousy and resentment,are plagued by a series of practical jokes. But when one of their actors is murdered,the humour turns distinctly sour. Appalling events continue: Lawrence Firethorn,actor-manager,is stalked by a mysterious lady; the sole copy of'The Malevolent Comedy'- the company's new play - is stolen,their leading apprentice is abducted and there is an attempt on the life of Lord Westfield,their patron. It's soon clear that someone more vicious than a practical jokester is trying to destroy the troupe and that Nicholas Bracewell,the resourceful book holder,has an almighty struggle to save his beloved company from certain demise.
