LucasCorso is a bibliophilic mercenary in the middle to two searches. He needs to prove if a manuscript of The Three Musketeers is genuine. He must also find the solution to the enigma of a diabolic book, burned with the printer in 1667, and of which only two other copies are know. The mystery leads him from the Holy Office to books condemned by the Vatican, from dusty old bookstores to the most select libraries owned by important international collectors.
