Writs of Possession - Rhodes Clive
HELL IS ON EARTH. WHO ARE THE DEMONS THAT WALK AMONG US?
Spring, 1519-Milan. Two centuries earlier, an obscure monk, who was possessed by Satan, wrote a cryptic manuscript containing a riddle. He made a second copy that was identical, except for one page, and then sent the two books in different directions. To solve the puzzle, it is necessary to compare them. One copy is owned by the dying Leonardo da Vinci, who placed some clues in The Last Supper to entice the holder of the other to bring it to him. That is now the mission of the fifteen-year-old Nostradamus, who is unaware that he is triggering a global apocalypse.
