THE PUZZLE IN THE PAINTING ? Master Physician Julien Sauniére confronts the Holy Inquisition for the first time, in front of the smoking ruins of Father Marin's home. Julien returns to his practice and discovers a letter written by the father the day before; a letter pointing to a 300-year-old clue to the disappearance of the mysterious scroll. And for the first time in many years, he meets an old friend and an old lover.
