What dangerous ideas were contained in the stolen manuscript? What was the ultimate secret that Bruno tried to hide, even as he was persecuted, imprisoned and tortured by the Holy Inquisition?

The Independent 'Gallenzi combines his two narratives with engaging skill - this deft and enjoyable novel makes the case for intellectual freedom.' The Scotsman '[Alessandro Gallenzi] has done much assiduous and scholarly research - He is the thinking person's Dan Brown' --The Tablet
