  • "Romanzo storico ambientato nella Milano del 1497 in cui Leonardo è intento a ultimare l'Ultima Cena."
  • "In 1497 a Dominican inquisitor is sent to Milan to supervise the final phase of the painting of The Last Supper by Leonardo da Vinci. Never a conformist, da Vinci creates a masterpiece that raises questions that have yet to be answered. Unlike his contemporaries, he does not hold strictly to the religious doctrine of the scriptures, but adds touches advocated by a repressed heritical sect. Could da Vinci be a member of the secret society?"

  • "Set in the late 15th century, Sierra's first book translated into English revolves around a papal inquisitor's investigation into Leonardo da Vinci's alleged heresies and offers a new way of interpreting The Last Supper. After receiving a series of cryptic messages from "the Soothsayer," who warns the 15th century church that "art can be employed as a weapon," the Secretariat of Keys of the Papal States dispatches Father Agostino Leyre on a twofold mission to Milan: identify the Soothsayer and discover what, if any, messages da Vinci is hiding in the painting. Leyre, who narrates, views the in-progress Last Supper at the Santa Maria delle Grazie and becomes fascinated. He makes a series of sometimes muddled discoveries about the painting, leading up to his interpretation of the painting's true meaning (not revealed until the last line of the last page). Those not well versed in Catholic history may have trouble following the many subplots involving factionalism and dissent within the church. The combination of code breaking, secrecy, chicanery within the Catholic Church and a certain artist is by now a familiar one, but Sierra's book, already a bestseller in Europe, is a fresh contribution to the da Vinci industry."@en
  • "The most-talked-about international bestseller of the year! Tightly paced and atmospheric, The Secret Supper is a dazzling historical thriller with a unique vision of both Leonardo da Vinci's genius and his masterpiece -- which you will never look at in the same way again. Milan, 1497: Leonardo is completing The Last Supper. Pope Alexander VI is determined to execute him after realizing that the painting contains clues to a baffling -- and blasphemous -- message that he is driven to decode. The Holy Grail and the Eucharistic Bread are missing, there is no meat on the table, and the apostles, shockingly, are portraits of well-known heretics -- and none of them are depicted with halos. And why has the artist painted himself into the scene with his back turned toward Jesus' The clues to Leonardo's greatest puzzle are right before your eyes..."@en
  • "Sent to oversee the completion of Da Vinci's "The Last Supper," Dominican inquisitor Fray Agustin Leyre investigates the artist's omission of key elements and use of symbolic imagery, which suggests that there is a coded message in the painting."
  • "A PLAUSIBLE AND INTRIGUING STORY ABOUT THE BELIEFS OF MEDIEVAL CATHARS, WHOSE FAITH INCLUDED SECRET TEACHINGS ALLEGEDLY CONFIDED TO THE MOST BELOVED COMPANIONS OF JESUS--MARY MAGDALENE AND JOHN THE EVANGELIST."
  • "Eind 15e eeuw wordt een inquisiteur naar Milaan gestuurd om te onderzoeken of de geruchten dat Leonardo da Vinci allerlei ketterse ideeën in zijn Laatste Avondmaal verwerkt, kloppen."
  • ""Región de la Lombardía. Enero de 1497. Fray Agustín Leyre, inquisidor dominico experto en la interpretación de mensajes cifrados, es enviado a toda prisa a Milán para supervisar los trazos finales que el maestro Leonardo da Vinci está dando a La Última Cena. La culpa la tiene una serie de cartas anónimas recibidas en la corte papal de Alejandro VI, en las que se denuncia que Da Vinci no sólo ha pintado a los Doce sin su preceptivo halo de santidad, sino que el propio artista se ha retratado en la sagrada escena, dando la espalda a Jesucristo. El remitente, al que en la Secretaría de Claves de los Estados Pontificios conocen como el Agorero, conoce a la perfección lo que está ocurriendo en el convento de Santa Maria delle Grazie y, desesperado por la pasividad de Roma, decide tomarse la justicia por su cuenta y acabar con los cómplices herejes que sostienen la labor de Leonardo."
