内容简介

Book Description

In January of 1497, Father Agostino Leyre,a Dominican Inquisitor and expert on the interpretation 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 had heard through anonymous letters that da Vinci was painting the twelve apostles without their halo of sanctity, that the chalice was missing, and that Leonardo had painted himself in the picture with his back to Jesus. This could have sent him to the inquisition. Why did he do this? Was Leonardo da Vinci a heretic?

Full of dark surprise, The Secret Supper depicts a deadly game of wits between the brilliant Leonardo da Vinci and the Dominican Inquisitor intent upon bringing him to trial 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.
