Alan Gordon (author)

Alan Gordon (born 1959) is the author of seven mysteries based on the characters from William Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night".

The books are:
*"Thirteenth Night" (1999). Set a decade after the events of "Twelfth Night", Feste returns to investigate the murder of the Duke of Orsino.
*"Jester Leaps In" (2000). Theophilos (aka Feste), along with his new apprentice Viola, has been sent by the Fool's Guild to investigate the disappearance of some agents in Constantinople.
*"A Death In The Venetian Quarter" (2002). Theophilos and Viola (now a fool, and going under the name Claudia) are investigating the death of Bastiani, a silk merchant and informant.
*"The Widow Of Jerusalem" (2003) is set in Tyre during the Third Crusade, and takes place prior to the first three books. Theophilos is trying to broker peace between the various participants. It is based on actual events involving Isabella of Jerusalem and her husband Conrad of Montferrat.
*"An Antic Disposition" (2004) is based on "Hamlet".
* "The Lark's Lament" (2007), in which Theophilos is sent to persuade Abbot Folquet, a former troubadour turned monk, to help the Fools' Guild. Whilst Theo is there, a monk is killed and a threatening message left on the monastery walls.
* "The Moneylender of Toulouse" (2008). Theophilos is sent to Toulouse to convince the current Bishop to retire, to be replaced by one more amenable to the Fool's Guild (Abbot Folquet, seen in the previous book). A moneylender who had argued with the Bishop is found dead.
