<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Already an international phenomenon, this riveting novel from a bestselling author in the Spanish-speaking world depicts a deadly game of wits between the brilliant but religiously suspect Leonardo Da Vinci and a Dominican inquisitor who is intent on bringing him to trial for heresy.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Milan, 1497: Leonardo da Vinci is completing his masterpiece, <i>The Last Supper</i>. Pope Alexander VI is determined to execute him after realizing that the painting contains clues to a baffling -- and blasphemous -- message, which he is determined to decode. The Holy Grail and the Eucharistic Bread are missing, there is no meat on the table and, shockingly, the apostles are portraits of well-known heretics -- none of them depicted with halos. And why has the artist painted himself into the scene with his back turned toward Jesus? The clues to Leonardo's greatest puzzle are right before your eyes....<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>A fascinating yarn and very well told....
