Tightly paced and atmospheric,The Secret Supperis a dazzling historical thriller with a unique vision of both Leonardo da Vinci's genius and his masterpiece -- which you will never look at in the same way again.

And why has the artist painted himself into the scene with his back turned toward Jesus?The clues to Leonardo's greatest puzzle are right before your eyes....
