On the isle of Crete, a renowned physicist experiments with the nature of reality in this enthralling novel from the author of
Broken Symmetries.
Secret Passages follows the life of mathematics prodigy Manolis Minakis from the quiet hills of Crete to the lofty chambers of Cambridge University. Upon his retirement, Minakis returns to his Greek island home a renowned physicist and successful industrialist-and ready to embark on his true life's work. Using a cache of Minoan treasures, Minakis lures photographer Anne-Marie Brand and her husband, theoretician Peter Slater, to aid in his attempts to recover the past and understand the true nature of reality. Set against the colorful Mediterranian backdrop, the legendary home of a once-great civilization, this enigmatic novel resonates deeply with both the brain and heart.

"Mr. Le Carre, meet Dr. Feynman!... [T]his one really makes the earth move." -Ursula K. Le Guin
