The Pelican Code, by Tim Lea, is a mystery thriller exploring Shakespeare's works and whether or not he actually wrote any of it.  It reminded me a lot of The Da Vinci Code, by Dan Brown, in that it has someone researching the history, documents, writings, etc while discovering things that go against what history teaches us.  I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed this book.  My only complaint is that it needs to be better edited.  Their were quite a few spelling and grammatical errors.  Other than this, the book was great.  It is a little slow to start off, but I promise if you stick through it, you won't be disapointed.The stories main character is Toby Malone.  What I liked most about Toby is that he is the complete opposite of Langdon, in the Dan Brown books.  Langdon is always nicely dressed, while Malone is described as wearing wrinkled clothing.  He is more realistic as your everyday person.  Again, I really enjoyed this book, and would reccomend it to any one who enjoys this genre.
