Description

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?

About the Author

R.A. Spratt was born in the UK and lived in Dursley, Gloucestershire - a town immortalised by Harry Potter's deeply unpleasant relatives - until she was two years old. Then, like many ambitious English people cursed with regional accents so strong no other British person can take them seriously, her family moved to Australia. The tedium of growing up in the western suburbs of Sydney was fertiliser to the growth of R.A.'s imagination. The only thing for a kid to do was get on a bicycle and go to the library, so R.A. Spratt did just that. Once there, she read everything, devouring the books of Arthur Ransome, Enid Blyton, Roald Dahl, Robin Klein and Judy Blume, and audiotapes of Shakespeare productions and Sherlock Holmes dramatisations. And so, her young mind was formed, and set on the path of becoming the extraordinary author she is today. Now based in Bowral NSW, she's the bestselling writer of dozens of absurd and witty books including Friday Barnes, The Adventures of Nanny Piggins, The Peski Kids and the Shockingly and Astonishingly Good Stories collections. Her podcast, Bedtime Stories with R.A. Spratt, has had over 4 million downloads and connects R.A. with story-lovers across the globe. For more information, visit raspratt.com
