Ostensibly a murder mystery, this book is really a story about stories, a book about puzzles and truth and conspiracies. Also, our narrator, arrives at an abbey with his master, William of Baskerville, to find that a monk has been killed, seemingly falling from the upper windows of the library.

A lyrical, intelligent reinvention of the detective novel.
