THE RULE OF FOUR
Princeton. Good Friday, 1999. In the eve of graduation, two students are a hairsbreadth from solving the mysteries of the Hypnerotomachia Poliphili. Well-known for its hypnotic power over those who study it, the five-hundred-year-old Hypnerotomachia may finally reveal its secrets -- to Tom Sullivan, whose father was enthusiastic about the book, and Paul Harris, whose future is determined by it. As the deadline looms, research has stalled -- until an ancient diary surfaces. What Tom and Paul discover inside shocks even them: proof that the positioning of a concealed crypt has been ciphered within the pages of the obscure Renaissance text.
Armed with this final clue, the two friends delve into the bizarre world of the Hypnerotomachia -- an environment of forgotten erudition, strange sexual appetites, and terrible violence. And they begin to understand the magnitude of these discovery, Princeton's snowy campus is rocked: a longtime student of the book is murdered, shot dead in the hushed halls of the history department.
A tale of timeless intrigue, dazzling scholarship, and great imaginative power, The Rule of Four is the storyplot of a young man divided between your future's promise and the past's allure, guided only by friendship and love.
