Murder. Torture. Alchemy. Now Antoine has to figure how it all fits as did Nicholas Flamel back in the 1300's. I enjoyed this story. I also enjoyed the entwining of the story from today with the story back in 1300's. I like Antoine and how being a Freemason entwines his whole life. Every time he is involved with a murder there is a Mason connection. It is up to him to determine how it fits and use the clues given to find the murderer. This mystery was good. I was interested from the beginning and interested in how the Masonic symbols were used by the murderer to find what he wanted. I also liked how the history of alchemy and the history of some of the founding members of the lodge Antoine belongs mixed together. A good story and I hope there are more coming in this series in translation.
