Synopsis
Did Dante die of malaria as everyone in Ravenna seems to think? Or did someone want him silenced? Tormented by doubt, the poet’s daughter Sister Beatrice, a former Templar named Bernard, and doctor Giovanni da Lucca, begin a double inquiry to find out what really happened. Their investigation centers on a coded nine-page parchment message left by Dante. The key lays hidden in the Commedia—finding it and discovering who wanted to stop the poet from finishing his work will not be easy. Set in the political and financial crisis of 14th century Europe, El libro secreto de Dante entwines real events and fictional characters to create a mysterious tapestry filled with unsettling questions.
