五百年前，為了守護這個秘密，第一批的犧牲者慘遭殺害

普林斯頓大學，1999年聖週五耶穌受難日。在畢業前夕，兩位摯友正要解開《尋愛綺夢》的謎團，這本自文藝復興時代以來便難倒眾多學者的晦澀巨著，然而也正是這難解的謎題，彷彿催眠似的，吸引數世紀來許多學著競相投入這場解謎大賽。如今，對於繼承父親遺志的湯姆．蘇利文而言，這本書可是窮盡了父親一生的精力；然而對保羅．哈里斯來說，自己的未來早已押在這本書上。此刻，這個懸宕五百年之久的謎題，看似即將在兩人面前揭曉這隱藏許久的秘密……

隨著期限一天天逼近，研究卻陷入僵局，直到發現了一項重大線索，一本早已佚失的「守港人日記」重見天日，而這本日記極可能是解開古老謎題的關鍵。然而將日記交給兩人的研究生比爾卻在不久後遭到殺害，甚至開始了一連串死亡與揭露內幕的恐怖循環，最後逼得湯姆與保羅不得不投身於這場激烈的鬧劇，試著從這本能力與意義為人所誤解的古書當中，抽絲剝繭找出最終的真相……

Princeton. Good Friday, 1999. On the eve of graduation, two friends are a hair's breadth from solving the mysteries of the Hypnerotomachia Poliphili, a Renaissance text that has baffled scholars for centuries. Famous for its hypnotic power over those who study it, the five-hundred-year-old Hypnerotomachia may finally reveal its secrets—to Tom Sullivan, whose father was obsessed with the book, and Paul Harris, whose future depends on it.

As the deadline looms, research has stalled—until a vital clue is unearthed: a long-lost diary that may prove to be the key to deciphering the ancient text. But when a longtime student of the book is murdered just hours later, a chilling cycle of deaths and revelations begins—one that will force Tom and Paul into a fiery drama, spun from a book whose power and meaning have long been misunderstood...
