Friday Barnes is back in Manhattan in this latest instalment of the bestselling detective series.

Despite being a great detective, Friday can't work out if Ian has broken up with her. It's not easy being both brilliant and socially clueless. Unable to deal with the heartache, Friday tries to lose herself in the intellectual world of street chess. But she can't escape romance when the Prince of Denmark asks her on a date and Interpol orders her to accept.

Soon Friday finds herself at the Broadway premiere of Hamlet, trying to protect the Danish Crown Jewels from being stolen and her own heart from being broken. Can Friday solve the case or will she be left with nothing to lose?
