After Edward's death in 1604, Ely continues to write plays until her death in 1612, the same year \"Shakespeare\" retires. Unbeknownst to anyone, Ely leaves clues behind waiting to be discovered even though it will take four-hundred years to do so.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInterwoven into the story of Ely is the modern story of Cynthia Parsons, a history teacher who is convinced Ely and Edward collaborated.
