Benjamin, buffeted by this sea of troubles, discovers a video Jackson made shortly before his death, in which he says his brother is out to kill him. After Jackson dies of an overdose, his widow, Trudy, quickly marries his brother Claude. His father, Jackson, comes from Texas oil money but chose to spend his life running an avant-garde theater company. The contemplative Danish prince becomes Benjamin Dane, the scion of a wealthy New York City family. Her Timothy Wilde detective series and her novel “The Paragon Hotel” infuse a contemporary sensibility into gritty, evocative historical fiction.įaye’s new novel, “ The King of Infinite Space,” brings Shakespeare’s “Hamlet” into the present day. Her previous novels include inventive takes on Sherlock Holmes (“Dust and Shadow”) and “Jane Eyre” (“Jane Steele”). The author likes to riff on the standards, putting her own stamp on them as she jams. Lyndsay Faye plays a kind of literary jazz.
