In Ross's historically accurate romantic comedy, ELIZABETH SHAKESPEARE and the ASTUTE DETECTIVE, The Astute Detective of the title, Tad Maxwell, an Oxfordian, believes that Edward de Vere, The Earl of Oxford was the true author of Shakespeare's works. Via his computer he conjures up The Bard and The Earl from their four centuries' demise. His sleuthing brings him into conflict with Elizabeth Shakespeare, sexy Stratfordian, who is positive that William Shakespeare was the true author of the plays and sonnets. As Maxwell tries to coax her to his point of view, she fights her physical (and mental) attraction to this romantic iconoclast. It gets down to a duel of wits about wills and Wills (with a little romance along the way). With much at stake, the eventual outcome will surprise, and delight, Oxfordians, Stratfordians, and even those who don't know their 'Othello' from their 'Pericles.'
