The Prague Cemetery

[This] magnificent new novel... marks a return to the heady mixture of absorbing ideas and down-and-dirty historical detail that made The Name of the Rose such an international bestseller in the 1980's Adam Lively Sunday Times

"An extremely readable narrative of betrayal, terrorism, murder...chilling" Daily Telegraph "A smartly entertaining fin-de-siecle romp" Independent "Imagine Dan Brown adorned with a PhD: that's Umberto Eco" Observer "This feels like Eco's most accessible novel since The Name of the Rose, a temptingly complex tale of 19th-century plots and conspiracies, and of an evil genius who may be behind them all" Sunday Times "The Prague Cemetery, snakes along an underground trail that twists through the enlightened heresies and bigoted gospels respectively propagated by Freemasons and Illuminati, Jesuits and Jew-baiters, before hinting at an ideological conspiracy that underlines the deceits of contemporary politics" Observer
