Maggiori informazioni sul libro
American scholar and medievalist, David Fairchild, takes a sabbatical at Cambridge University, where he gains access to a rare manuscript written by the infamous monk Geoffrey Gervaise. The Westchurch Manuscript has lain neglected in the University vaults for centuries, but a shadowy cabal has long been interested in it and reacts violently to any inquiries about its secrets. Expecting a pleasant year pursuing his passion for medieval literature, Fairchild quickly becomes entangled in the centuries-old curse surrounding the manuscript and its mysterious author. Murders occur, the supernatural stirs, and old haunting grounds are disturbed. Fairchild must make difficult decisions to save a family that has lived under the Gervaise curse for generations. Buoyant with humor and electrified by suspense and fright, Thomas Bontly's Celestial Chess offers a thrilling narrative with a pace that sizzles like a five-minute blitz match.
