THE SEMPER SONNET
Book ID/图书代码： 06840016B87129
English Summary/英文概要： In this stunning thrill ride, perfect for fans of Steve Berry, a poem holds the key to unlocking the past― and to eliminating the future.
Lee Nicholson takes the academic world by storm, seemingly unearthing a never-before published sonnet by William Shakespeare. When she reads the poem on the air, her words are ignored by all but a small group of people. There are the English and literature buffs. There are the curious and those who seek out hoaxes.
And there are men who will kill to keep the sonnet from every being read again.
Buried in the language of the sonnet, in its allusions and wordplay, secrets have been hidden dating back to Elizabethan times, shared by the queen and her doctor, by men who seek the crown and men who seek the world. If the riddles are solved, it could explode what the world knows of the monarchy. Or, it could release a pandemic more deadly than the world has ever seen.
Lee’s quest keeps her one step ahead of an international hunt―from the police who want her for murder, to a group of men who will stop at nothing to end her quest, to a mad man who pursues the answers for destructive reasons of his own. Globetrotting as she pieces together what Shakespeare meant, and what he meant to leave unsaid, Lee carries this intelligent thriller through to its gasp-out-loud conclusion.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 这是一部惊悚小说，Steve Berry的粉丝一定会喜欢这部作品。
一首诗歌掌握着解开过去，照亮未来的钥匙。
Lee Nicholson似乎发现了一首从未发表过的莎士比亚十四行诗。当她在电台朗读这首诗时，只引起了一小部分人的注意，包括英语和文学爱好者，好奇之人和寻求恶作剧之人，还有为了使这首诗不再被读到而不惜杀人灭口的人。
这首十四行诗的典故和双关语之中蕴藏着伊丽莎白时期的秘密——只有皇后和她的医生，寻找皇冠和探索世界的人才知道的秘密。如果谜底被揭开，将会颠覆世界对君主制的了解，也可能释放出最致命的流行病。
Lee必须比她的对手们抢先一步揭开谜底。为了解开这个谜底，她跑遍全球。结局将令人目瞪口呆。（LYR）
