You may not have ever heard of Lewis Tackett. He didn't keep ledgers for us to read as did his friend, Daniel Boone. He didn't aspire to high political office as many others did. The highest political rank he attained was Justice of the Peace and his highest military rank was captain. However, he lived during a time when our nation was being formed. When men and women of great strength, courage, and determination were needed to forge a new way of life. Lewis had all of these traits in abundance, and the energy and spirit of adventure to use them. He was an extraordinary man. Almost all of the events in this book actually happened and are well documented. Lewis Tackett is buried near Lewisville, in Henry County, Indiana. His original memorial marker gave his age as, "99 years, 4 months and 21 days", and included the inscription, "A REVOLUTIONARY SOLDIER".

This book explores why crime fiction so often alludes to Shakespeare. It ranges widely over a variety of authors including classic golden age crime writers such as the four ‘queens of crime’ (Allingham, Christie, Marsh, Sayers), Nicholas Blake and Edmund Crispin, as well as more recent authors such as Reginald Hill, Kate Atkinson and Val McDermid. It also looks at the fondness for Shakespearean allusion in a number of television crime series, most notably Midsomer Murders, Inspector Morse and Lewis, and considers the special sub-genre of detective stories in which a lost Shakespeare play is found. It shows how Shakespeare facilitates discussions about what constitutes justice, what authorises the detective to track down the villain, who owns the countryside, national and social identities, and the question of how we measure cultural value.
