Anne Perry - The Sheen on the Silk

Start: Thu, 03/25/2010 - 7:00pm

New York Times best-selling novelist Anne Perry has won widespread popular and critical acclaim for her Victorian mysteries, and now she turns to 13th-century Constantinople, Venice, and Rome in her new epic, historical novel, The Sheen on the Silk. On one level, a young woman risks everything to clear her brother's name. But she is not the only one at risk; the broader story captures the tensions between the Roman Catholic and Orthodox churches at a moment in history when any misstep could lead to a devastating crusade.
