500 years ago the first men were murdered to protect the secret. Princeton. Good Friday, 1999. On the eve of graduation, two students are a hairsbreadth from solving the mysteries of the Hypnerotomachia Poliphili, a Renaissance text that has baffled scholars for centuries. Famous for its hypnotic power over those who study it, the five-hundred-year-old Hypnerotomachio may finally reveal its secrets---to Tom Sullivan, whose father was obsessed with the book, and Paul Harris, whose future depends on it.
