The Great Shakespeare Fraud cover

William-Henry Ireland, only 19, perpetrated the greatest Shakespeare forgery ever attempted. As a result, his father was personally destroyed in a tale worthy of a Greek tragedy, when William, driven by a simple yearning for his father's love, inverted his father's great passion for Shakespeare to impale him on the great Shakespeare fraud.
