Tightly paced and atmospheric, The Secret Supper is a
dazzling historical thriller with a unique vision of both
Leonardo da Vinci's genius and his masterpiece -- which you
will never look at in the same way again. Milan, 1497: Leonardo is completing The Last Supper. Pope
Alexander VI is determined to execute him after realizing
that the painting contains clues to a baffling -- and
blasphemous -- message that he is driven to decode. The Holy
Grail and the Eucharistic Bread are missing, there is no
meat on the table, and the apostles, shockingly, are
portraits of well-known heretics -- and none of them are
depicted with halos. And why has the artist painted himself
into the scene with his back turned toward Jesus? The clues
to Leonardo's greatest puzzle are right before your eyes....
