It keeps you turning the pages in a most compelling way. I couldn't put it down." <b>Graham Hancock</b>, author of the international bestsellers <i>The Sign and the Seal, Fingerprints of the Gods</i>, and <i>Heaven's Mirror</i> This gripping pageturner has something for every fan of occult fiction: a murder mystery set against the conflicts of Islam and the West with symbolism, alchemy, and magic fueling the action. The evocative setting of Venice and the Veneto dominates the plot, along with vivid scenes in Santiago de Compostela, Provence, Washington, and the Vatican. <i>The Forbidden Book</i> delves deep into esoteric knowledge and practice, thanks to Guido Mina di Sospiro's extensive knowledge of Catholicism and Joscelyn Godwin's authoritative studies of the western esoteric tradition.
