Sequel to: The Serpent of Venice.

"Set adrift by his pirate crew, Pocket of Dog Snogging--last seen in The Serpent of Venice--washes up on the sun-bleached shores of Greece, where he hopes to dazzle the Duke with his comedic brilliance and become his trusted fool. But the Duke's minister is furious that his daughter Hermia is determined to marry Demetrius, instead of Lysander, the man he has chosen for her. When Pocket, being Pocket, interferes, he soon finds himself on the run in Oberon's forest, where it turns out Puck was found dead. As anyone who is even vaguely aware of the Bard's most performed play ever will know, nearly every character has a motive for wanting the mischievous sprite dead. With too many suspects and too little time, Pocket must work his own kind of magic to find the truth, save his neck, and ensure that all ends well."--Publisher.
