The Second Sleep: A novel

<b><b>From the internationally best-selling author of </b><b><i>Fatherland</i></b><b> and the Cicero Trilogy--a chilling and dark new thriller unlike anything Robert Harris has done before.</b></b><br /><br />1468. A young priest, Christopher Fairfax, arrives in a remote Exmoor village to conduct the funeral of his predecessor. The land around is strewn with ancient artefacts--coins, fragments of glass, human bones--which the old parson used to collect. Did his obsession with the past lead to his death?<br />     Fairfax becomes determined to discover the truth. Over the course of the next six days, everything he believes--about himself, his faith, and the history of his world--will be tested to destruction.
