I found this book on the discount shelves of a local used book store.

"Captures the glorious and gritty details of Renaissance Italy in a propulsive story. Ennis has achieved a great accomplishment, historical fiction that places us right into the characters' present." -- Matthew Pearl, bestselling author of The Dante Club and The Technologists

Now in paperback, the sweeping, intense historical thriller starring two of the great minds of history: Niccolò Machiavelli and Leonardo da Vinci that took the world by storm. Based on a real historical mystery, and involving serial murder and a gruesome cat and mouse game at the highest levels of the Church -- it was the era of the infamous Borgias -- The Malice of Fortune is a delicious treat for fans of Umberto Eco, Sarah Dunant, and Game of Thrones.

I am buying books from the outside shelves at The Readers Corner (a Raleigh used book store) and releasing them. This is one of those books. If you like it, take it and write a journal entry at www.BookCrossing.com - its easy and anonymous. Then when you are done with it, find a nice person or place to release it.
