Robertson's Latest Mix of Rich History
and Deadly Murder
For young Leonhard Euler, the Bernoulli family have been more than
just friends. Master Johann has been a demanding mentor, and his
sons have been Leonhard's allies and companions. But it is also a
family torn by jealousy and distrust. Father and sons are engaged
in a ruthless competition for prestige among the mathematical
elites of Europe, especially the greatest prize: the Chair of
Mathematics at the University of Basel, which Johann holds and his
sons want. And now, their aspirations may have turned deadly.
Lured into an investigation of the suspicious death of Uncle Jacob
twenty years ago, Leonhard soon realizes there's more at stake than
even a prominent appointment. Surrounded by the most brilliant--and
cunning--minds of his generation, Leonhard is forced to see how
dangerous his world is. His studies in mathematics have always been
entwined with his thoughts on theology, and now, caught in a deadly
battle of wills, he'll need both his genius and his faith to
survive.
