1975 Paris's Bibliothèque Nationale discovered parchments known as Les Dossiers Secrets,
identifying numerous members of the Priory of Sion, including Sir Isaac Newton, Botticelli,
Victor Hugo, and Leonardo da Vinci.
The Vatican prelature known as Opus Dei is a deeply devout Catholic ct that has been the
topic of recent controversy due to reports of brainwashing, coercion, and a dangerous practice
known as "corporal mortification." Opus Dei has just completed construction of a $47 million
World Headquarters at 243 Lexington Avenue in New York City.
All descriptions of artwork, architecture, documents, and cret rituals in this novel are
