An ivy league murder, a mysterious coded manuscript, and the secrets of a Renaissance prince collide - a brilliant work of fiction that weaves together suspense and scholarship, high art and unimaginable treachery. 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.

I really loved this book from the beginning to somewhere near the end. I would have given this book a solid five but the ending almost ruined the entire book for me. All throughout the book we are given hints that Joseph Gray has a huge secret. The secret is built up in importance through the entire book. At the end you find this secret has not only been over hyped, but, to put it frankly, is kinda dumb. For me the ending took away an important part of the book. It is definitely worth reading, but don't get your hopes up about a solid ending.
