Critics Review
This year’s biggest publishing sensation
This year’s biggest publishing sensation * Guardian *
One part The Da Vinci Code, one part The Name of the Rose - A blazingly good yarn [and] an exceptional piece of scholarship … A smart, swift, multitextured tale that both entertains and informs * San Francisco Chronicle *
The Da Vinci Code for people with brains * Independent *
A stunning first novel … if Scott Fitzgerald, Umberto Eco, and Dan Brown teamed up to write a novel, the result would be The Rule of Four. An extraordinary and brilliant accomplishment - a must read * Nelson DeMille *
An assured piece of fiction that weaves together the past and the present seamlessly … I enjoyed it tremendously * Observer *
A marvellous book with a dark Renaissance secret in its coded heart * New York Times Book Review *
