A beautifully illuminated ancient Hebrew text is at the center of this fascinating detective story that ultimately plunges book expert Hannah Heath into the dangerous world of art forgers and political fanatics. From wine stains to insect wings Hannah traces the history of book all the way back to 1480 where she finds the true reasons that this particular text was so beautifully illustrated. A great read for historical fiction and mystery fans alike.
