The Rook and the Werewolf of Talbot County by W.J.R. Miller

The year is 1935, and The Rook, the world's greatest and most infamous master criminal, has not made an appearance in years. Has he died, as some speculate? Has he simply retired? Or, as some fear, is he merely biding his time, waiting, scheming, preparing...but for what?! And if The Rook is really missing, why does beautiful heiress Laura Hastings, recently released from a psychiatric hospital, keep seeing him? Are the ghosts at the historic estate of Waverly real, or figments of Laura's imagination? And if they are real...are they trying to frighten her...or warn her?

THE RETURN OF THE ROOK is a play in three acts, in which nothing is quite as it seems, everyone has secrets, and, as the spectral narrator warns the audience, the shadows are known to have teeth.
