Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book solves a 400 year old mystery about Shakespeare's friends. The contents are based on a theory which fits in exactly with all the words in the sonnets and with historically recorded facts. There is no firm evidence, but this theory reveals a fascinating and tragic story about Shakespeare's associates which will be very difficult to discredit. It illustrates the theological emphasis in Hamlet and the influences from the Church that Shakespeare encountered. It encompasses the tangled web of deceit between Hamlet, Ophelia, Claudius and Gertrude and how this story reflected the events in Shakespeare's own life.
