To complicate matters further, it appears that some people long considered dead might not be after all. What began as a simple murder is about to escalate into a theological debate of terrifying complexity.From World Fantasy Award-winning author K. J. Parker comes a devilishly clever tale of murder, intrigue, and existential crisis.

To get their hands on it, they must impersonate a legendary figure, create the world's most expensive letter of introduction, and sneak into the most heavily guarded library in the world.
