In South Italy an archaeological expedition sponsored by a computer science business man from India, discovers a relic inside a container with an octahedron shape, containing five encrypted manuscripts. But due to the expedition leader’s lack of attention, four of the group are robbed in a violent plot, the same night of the discovery. As dark forces begin to merge, the discovery and the theft become front page news in the world media. Such are the repercussions, the events trigger different global media companies to budget resources to dig deeper into the sensational story.
The goal of deciphering the remaining manuscript, as well as to discover the whereabouts of the others that had disappeared, become the challenge for several people, but primarily for a reporter from The New York Times and a Le Monde colleague. The suspicion that it could be work of Pythagoras, the master of Samos who was known to have lived in that particular region, awake all manner of interests in this taut and exciting mystery. A disaster of catastrophic proportions, the origin of which is still a mystery for the scientific community, could have a direct connection with this discovery.
Excerpt
Prologue:
There is no closure without an opening. Nothing is ever finished that did not begin somewhere. There is no end without a beginning. There is no future without a past.
Often the intermediary phases play an important part in this chain of cause and effect. They are the means, the meantimes, the intersections and the familiar present. Still, by the light of evolution, we will only know where we are going, what we will do and what will happen if we know our previous steps. Where we came from, what we did and what happened.
As a result, these aspects become the basic premises by which we come to understand the circumstances about us. Perhaps that is why there are so many unknowns still permeating our understanding of the world in which we live. Basically, we know so little about how things began.
Nevertheless, simply reflecting on this fact opens up a new perspective. It takes us from being merely creatures that are born, grow, mature and die, to being supporting actors in a larger production, even if we often play only secondary roles. In this way we become a part of the transcendental spectacle of the mysterious evolution of the Universe.
Then, leaving behind our condition as simple, comfortably seated spectators, passively watching time float by, we become tuned in to this spectacle by the greater light within us, that sublime power we possess but have yet to unveil: our macrocosmical intuition.
We then become aware that learning about visible reality is not the only way to knowledge. The goal for each of us to attain is to seek behind this reality towards something more complete, more absorbing and sublime.
Let us proceed then along this path, for it is upon it that we will witness the true essence of the divine.

The Hidden Staircase Mystery Books Review
"Divine Geometry is a stirring, well-paced novel and it's hard for the reader not to get caught up in the excitement as everyone takes two steps forward, one step backward in solving the puzzles surrounding the manuscripts."
Revenge is Fun series. Publisher Vinny Vitali deserves to be whacked, but for some reason he's like a cat with 9 lives. He's holding a mob widow's memoir hostage and the authors want to kill him, but he won't die.
