Something is rotten in Denmark, Tennessee, and it is not just the polluted Copenhagen River. Hamilton Princes father has been murdered, according to a hidden video message. Horatio Wilkes, Hamiltons best friend, is visiting the Prince mansion when the video turns up. The guys need to find the killer before he strikes again.

 

But it wont be easy. Suspects are plentiful. Olivia Mendelssohn may be hot (and Hamiltons ex-girlfriend), but shes also an environmentalist determined to clean up the river that the Prince paper plant has been polluting for decades. Trudy, Hamiltons mom, has recently married her husbands brother, Claude, and signed over half of the plant and its profits to him. Not to mention Ford N. Branff, media mogul and Trudys college flame, who wants to buy the plant for himself. The question is motive, and Horatio Wilkes is just the kind of guy who can find things like that out. Doesnt matter that hes only a junior in high school.

 

A smart, hip, and funny twist on the tale of Hamlet, where one-liners crackle and mystery abounds. Think you already know the story? Think again.
