Milan, 1497: Father Agostino Leyre, a Dominican Inquisitor and expert on the interpretations of secret messages, is ordered to supervise Leonardo da Vinci's final touches to The Last Supper. He was sent by Pope Alexander VI who is determined to execute da Vinci after realizing that the painting contains clues to a baffling - and blasphemous - message, which he is driven to decode. The Holy Grail and the Eucharistic Bread are missing, there is no meat on the table, and the apostles, shockingly, are portraits of well-known heretics - and none of them are depicted with halos. And why has the artist painted himself into the scene with his back turned towards Jesus?
Full of dark surprises, The Secret Supper depicts a deadly game of wits between the brilliant Leonardo da Vinci and the man intent on bringing him to trail for heresy. Revealing the truth behind da Vinci's best-known Christian piece, it will keep you guessing until the final page. After finishing this novel, you'll never see The Last Supper in the same way again.
