Leonidas Witherall, former head of a prestigious boy's school and mystery writer with a Jessica Fletcher-esque talent for encountering a murder wherever he goes and solving said murders, is nicknamed "Bill Shakespeare" because of his resemblance to the famous playwright. I recently read Beginning with a Bash, the first novel featuring him, which I highly recommend.

Wow, I just saw this thread and thought, "I need to add Shakespeare's Pizza." Did you go to Mizzou, too? Best pizza ever. I miss it terribly (that and good toasted ravioli).
And I didn't need to use it much, but I thought its twin business had one of the best names: Lone Sock Laundry.
