For fans of Dan Brown's Inferno, a sensational Italian thriller starring Dante Alighieri as lead detective. A troubled quest, an ambitious politician, a brutal killer. Italy, October 1301. Dante Alighieri, Prior to the city of Florence, is sent to Rome to meet with the Pope. Sinister omens greet his arrival; the river Tiber is threatening to burst its banks and the corpses of several young woman have been found eviscerated and ritually murdered. Dante has no power to order an investigation but when the authorities show little interest in the deaths he promises the mother of one victim that he will bring the murderer to justice. But when Dante visits the Vatican, and makes the acquaintance of an ambitious senator named Spada, he discovers that the city hides yet more dark secrets...

It is an interesting book true, not a extraordinary page-turner, but good leisure read.
It does, however, loose reader on too many occasions. I had the opportunity of being stranded in my grandmas house with absolutely NO other entertainment (not even working tv) and to that fact I attribute my ability to finish it.
Were it not for lack of other amuses I would have left it long before.
Main character is all that is convincing about this book. It is visible that the author is Dante scholar.
Anyone familiar to Prince of Poets' work can see as with the book's progress that - maybe unintentionally - the author is showing us how Divine Comedy has come into being. What images, people and events inspired Dante.
It could really be a great book but the author tried to make it - in my opinion - too many things in the same time.
He wrote it as part crime story, part Dan-Brown-ish fiction about some ancient cult, part political, part historical novel.
The novel doesn't fulfil any of it's aims. Pity. ( )
