  <default-description>&lt;DIV&gt;Inspired by a real manuscript in the rare book library at Yale University&#8212;and centering on the insights of an autistic child&#8212;this fast-moving mystery brings together the fields of cryptology, church history, and clinical psychology. As the tale begins, Father Ronald McCallum is a Vatican&#160;guard secretly placed to watch over a 400-year-old document written in a code that has never been deciphered. He is startled one day when a boy visiting the library appears to read from the manuscript&#8217;s pages. After some consultation, the&#160;Vatican decides to&#160;send in an expert&#8212;Father Benicio Valori, a priest and clinical psychologist&#8212;to verify the boy&#8217;s surprising skills. These efforts are thwarted, however, when the manuscript is stolen by mysterious&#160;agents hoping to prevent its secrets from being exposed. Fearing for the child&#8217;s life, Father Valori takes young Matthew and flees to Canada to consult his trusted friend, Dr. Jake Tunnel, a fellow psychologist; and soon the two men begin to unveil the biblical origins of the stolen manuscript&#8212;and to develop a theory of their own about why this autistic child can decode it so successfully.&lt;/DIV&gt;</default-description>
