Beschreibung

In May 1991, having received threats that terrified him, rising academic star Ioan Culianu entrusted a colleague with a mysterious set of papers. A week later, Culianu was murdered. What was in those mysterious papers? And what connection might they have to Culianu's death? The papers eventually passed into the hands of Bruce Lincoln, and their story is at the heart of this book.
