Summary
Set in 1517, the year Luther nailed up his "95 theses" that were to change the world, this novel chronicles the bitter struggle between a "heretical" Anabaptist (a member of the sect that came to be known as Mennonites) and a spy for the papacy who is known only as Q. Written by four anonymous authors, this novel was a bestseller in Europe.

Waking Raphael
by Leslie Forbes
La Muta, "the mute woman." Amidst a country rocked by scandal and corruption, inhabitants of the idyllic city of Urbino, Italy, birthplace of Raphael, are more concerned with a sudden outbreak of miracles than with politics. But what unspeakable secret lies hidden in Raphael's enigmatic painting? Its restoration will drive a living mute to a shocking act of violence and spark an investigation into a nearly forgotten war crime and a series of events that will shatter the silence gripping this community forever. Both a mesmerizing thriller and a passionate exploration of the power of truth to effect reconciliation and restore faith, Waking Raphael spins a tantalizing web of silence and lies to recreate an Italy where the romantic and the violent, the comic and the tragic, are spellbindingly interwoven.
The Rule Of Four
by Ian Caldwell
"Caldwell and Thomason have created a stunning first novel; a perfect blend of suspense and a sensitive coming of age story. If Scott Fitzgerald, Umberto Ecco, and Dan Brown teamed up to write a novel, the result would be THE RULE OF FOUR. An extraordinary and brilliant accomplishment - a must read." --Nelson DeMille
