Leonardo da Vinci and his celebrated "The Last Supper" are at the heart of a plot in which historical reality, enigmas and fiction intertwine in a detective investigation that will forever change the way we view the Renaissance master's painting.
The story is set in January 1497. A series of anonymous letters sent to the court of Pope Alexander VI raises the alarm over the work Leonardo da Vinci is painting in Milan: a mural of the Last Supper that appears to conceal a disturbing message.
To discover what lies behind it, the Dominican inquisitor Friar Agustín Leyre, an expert in interpreting coded messages, is sent to supervise the painting and identify the author of the letters. What he discovers will forever change the way we view one of the great works of the Renaissance.
INTERNATIONAL SUCCESS
"The Secret Supper" holds a prominent place in Javier Sierra's international career. The work became the first Spanish novel to enter The New York Times' "top ten" list of best-selling books, establishing itself as one of the author's major international successes.
With this new edition, "The Secret Supper" returns to bookstores, bringing back a plot in which art, history and mystery intertwine around one of the most fascinating and enigmatic works of all time.
