A premise for a book I'd definitely read, from Household Opera. I'd write it myself if I wasn't so undisciplined, and inclined to think it'd end up somewhere in the realm of Sam's Pilgrim Detective television series.

"The book, set to cause controversy among experts, is full of such detailed analysis and reads, as historian Antonia Fraser has said, 'like a literary detective story.'"
