Much Ado About Murder

While rehearsing the ‘To be or not to be’ soliloquy he is stabbed in the neck with a quill. It later emerges that he was negotiating to get the life rights of a notorious Mexican gangster who is a fan of Shakespeare’s plays, especially ‘Macbeth’ and ‘King Lear’ though he is likened to ‘Richard III’ by Castle, the investigator.
