Uncovering the secrets of The Divine Comedy may be the key to stopping a killer in this “edge-of-the-seat thriller with fantastic historical detail” (Robert Foster, author of The Lunar Code). When the body of a poetry professor is found tortured in a deserted barn outside Florence, Inspector Perini is assigned to the case. No murder of passion, it is clearly a professional job. Hours later, thieves break into the tomb of fourteenth-century poet Dante Alighieri. It seems the two crimes may be connected by some missing verses from the author’s immortal masterpiece, The Divine Comedy. The missing verses could contain a code so valuable someone is willing to murder for it. As the bodies pile up, Perini is in a deadly race to find the secret before the killers. The truth will prove more shocking than he could have possibly imagined . . .
