The Name of the Rose

Brother William of Baskerville and his young novice visit a Benedictine monastery for a conference of embattled clerics. However, Brother William becomes embroiled with more immediate problems - those of murder and intrigue, as deaths continue in mysterious circumstances that eerily seem to echo the prophecy of the Apocalypse.
