>About The Book:  In Lostlindens:  A Full Account, with New Information 
>Concerning the Riddle of Shakespeare’s Boot, David Nolta brings back 
>Hiawatha and Antigone Musing­the popular siblings, professors, and 
>part-time sleuths of his first novel, Grave Circle­for an unexpectedly 
>perilous tour of the sprawling English estate Lostlindens.   The curtain 
>rises on the grand Lostlindens homestead where Hiawatha has escorted a 
>group of American college students to view a priceless Shakespearean 
>relic. From the moment of their arrival at the great house, things go very 
>wrong very fast. Confronted with a double homicide, Hiawatha desperately 
>calls in his sister, Antigone, for help. Together, in this mystery that 
>offers the perfect marriage of the academic and country house genres, Hi 
>and Tig unravel the fascinating tangles that link the various temporary 
>and long-term inhabitants of Lostlindens, dabbling in history, romance, 
>and subterfuge along the way.  Nolta sustains the sumptuous style of the 
>first Ivory Tower Mystery, Grave Circle, embellishing the strange and 
>suspenseful story with witty and original insights into such topics as 
>academic and social pretension, romantic love, and the strange traits that 
>make it possible and impossible for humans to coexist. The result is as 
>amusing as it is absorbing: a lively­and deadly­romp which has been given 
>a “five bolt” (highest) rating in the New Mystery Reader.
