Synopsis

Three book editors, jaded by reading far too many crackpot manuscripts on the mystic and the occult, are inspired by an extraordinary conspiracy story told to them by a strange colonel to have some fun. They start feeding random bits of information into a powerful computer capable of inventing connections between the entries, thinking they are creating nothing more than an amusing game, but then their game starts to take over, the deaths start mounting, and they are forced into a frantic search for the truth.

Publisher and industry reviews

UK Kirkus review

Complexity, intrigue, and history galore as three Milan publishers feed reams of ancient occult information into their computer and people start disappearing... Another labyrinthine, addictive read from the author of The Name of the Rose. (Kirkus UK)
