But as soon as a pattern emerges, the detectives of the 87th are forced to hit the books and brush up on their Shakespeare — because each new clue contains a line from one of his works. Unless they can crack the complicated riddles and beat the Deaf Man at his own cat-and-mouse game, someone is going to end up hurt, or something will be stolen — or both. It’s always so hard to tell with the Deaf Man.
