Among the growing body of novels that involve revelations extracted from long-lost manuscripts, this one is a small jewel. Its suspense derives, not from keeping the new discovery from villainous hands, but from human interactions, both contemporary and five centuries past. Another plus is a satisfying and plausible conclusion, not a cop-out that sends the long-lost manuscript plunging into a fire or an abyss before anyone finds its secrets. It's Kathryn Walker's first novel; let's hope it's not her last. ( )
