"Pouco
antes de amanhecer, Michael e Michele retornaram à hospedaria onde haviam
passado parte da noite anterior. Ele deixou o carro num pátio de terra diante
da velha estalagem, debaixo de uma árvore, e dirigiu-se ao mesmo quarto da
véspera, acompanhado pela namorada. No saguão, encontraram a hospedeira, uma
senhora bojuda e atenciosa, com voz de barítono e rosto que lembrava as feições
de um dos Três Patetas. A boa mulher trazia um lenço colorido na cabeça e, com
um balde de água, esfregão e detergente, aproveitava aquelas horas vazias que
antecediam a alvorada para lavar os corredores do seu estabelecimento. Ao ver o
rapaz naquele estado, coberto por terra e com a roupa toda encardida, indagou
num inglês sofrível:
-
Mas o que acontecer... cair num brejo?
-
Estava no cemitério, desenterrando os mortos. Gracejou Michael.
A
velha senhora persignou-se diversas vezes, mastigando algumas palavras de
esconjuro, as quais ninguém compreendeu. Eles subiram as escadas escuras rindo
da brincadeira e entraram no quarto, que cheirava a cobertor guardado por longo
tempo. Embora não fosse grande, possuía a vantagem de ter banheiro próprio e
era limpo. O moço atirou sua mala sobre a cama e foi abrir a janela para arejar
o ambiente. Aos poucos, a manhã ia despertando, preguiçosa, tingindo as casas e
os campos com os matizes da aurora. Depois, Michael lavou o rosto na pia e
abriu o chuveiro, deixando a água escorrendo até encher uma enorme banheira de
louça branca. Ele despiu-se, jogou a roupa suja num canto e mergulhou naquelas
águas quentes e reconfortantes. Enquanto relaxava de olhos fechados, ouviu o
celular tocando insistentemente no bolso de seu sobretudo, o qual ele pendurara
num gancho atrás da porta. O banho estava tão agradável, que o rapaz recusou-se
a sair dali naquele momento e resolveu não atender. Michele abriu a porta,
aproximou-se do namorado e perguntou:
-
Quem era?
-
Não sei... Certamente não era para nós, pois este celular nem é nosso.
-
Talvez fossem aqueles bandidos...
Ao
ouvir tais palavras, Michael arrepiou-se. Teriam conseguido ler o texto em
latim do diário de Jacques de Molay? E se tivessem lido, de que lhes serviria?
O livro não revelava o local para onde os cavaleiros haviam levado o fabuloso
tesouro do Templo. Uma coisa era certa. Quando Macrino e seu comparsa
descobrissem isso, viriam outra vez atormentar o rapaz. Ele apanhou o sabonete
e, esfregando-o suavemente sobre seu corpo, disse:
-
Não me fale nesses assassinos..."

A mysterious murder in the convent of Santa Maria

finding three most valuable books in the convent underground, Michael begins to
investigate whatever truth could be found in those old manuscripts. To prove
his innocence, he will have to unveil the greatest secret of all time, such a
terrible secret that the Roman Catholic Church has been keeping it bolted under
lock and key for almost one thousand years. After deciphering several clues
hidden by the Knights Templar in the “Seven Towers of the Devil”, Michel founds

INTRODUCTION
The
novel is set in Europe and was divided into two parts. In the first part,
structure always follows the same layout: a chapter in the present, in which
the actions connected with the main character (Michael) occur followed by a
chapter always in the past whose goal is that of introducing or explaining some
historical context. In the second part, the vicissitudes of the protagonist are
described in linear order until he reaches his target. There are nineteen
chapters altogether.
The
subject runs as follows:
When
some women went to Christ’s tomb in the Sunday following His crucifixion, they
found the sepulcher open and empty. According to the traditional Christian
Church viewpoint, this happened because Christ had risen from the dead. This
novel suggests another reason for this. The sepulcher had been violated by the
Devil himself, who wanted to take the body of the Son of God down to Hell. A
man watched the theft and went out to warn some members of the Essene order,
who went themselves to the place where the Devil was hidden and achieved to
chain him. Afterward, they took him into a Syrian cavern within which they
jailed him so that Satan would stay imprisoned in there for over one thousand
years. When Crusaders first conquered Jerusalem in the year, 1099, they found
in a house old Essene scrolls relating the Devil’s incarceration. In 1119, the
new pope, Calixtus II, took up the task of finding out whatever truth could be
found in that old scroll. He summoned together the most intelligent men in
Christendom, among them Steven Harding and St. Bernard de Clairvaux, who
attested for the authenticity of the document. Then it was decided to create a
monkish order with the explicit aim of finding an Essenian chart said to be
hidden under the Temple of Solomon, for this map supposedly would reveal the
place where Satan was jailed. Those monks came to be known as the Knights
Templar.
After
spotting the Devil inside his Syrian cave, the Knights Templar brought him
secretly to somewhere in Europe, where he remains in captivity down to our
days.
Michael
is a young postulant in the convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie in the city of
Milano, Italy, and he chanced to discover in the convent’s basement an ancient,
secret Templar library. After reading three of the books he found in there – The Occult Secrets of the Church, The Gospel
According to Joseph of Arimathea and The
Diary of Jacques de Molay – he became aware of all the above and began to
convince himself that the Devil was about to be set free. As a direct
consequence, he would exact his long-waited revenge from all of mankind,
bringing about the End of Times.
Right
on the next day after his discovery, an old friar, Brother Abelard, one of
Michael’s best friends, was murdered in the convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie
in Milano and the young man ended up by being accused of committing the crime. Afraid
of being arrested, he decided to run away. This is the master line that lends
all dynamism to the novel: on the first hand, Michael escaping all the time
from his chasers; and, on the other hand, his trying to find out where the
Devil is imprisoned, so as to try and prevent his escape from that place to set
about the Apocalypse prophecies written
by Saint John.
He
goes to the Vatican planning to reveal his discoveries to the ecclesiastical
authorities, but is never believed and, from that moment on, he begins to be
also stalked by religious fanatics connected to the Church’s summit.
When
the Knights Templar brought the Devil to the Western lands, they decided to
spread out several clues that, once brought together, would disclose the place
where they had jailed Satan. Along the novel, Michael finds all these hints in
the Seven Towers of the Devil (placed in several European countries, to wit,
France, England, Spain, Portugal, and Italy). After deciphering the enigma, he
takes himself to the dungeon where the Devil is kept, intending to kill Satan. The
end of the novel is indeed surprising and unpredictable.

Após ter achado três livros preciosíssimos nos subsolos do convento, Michael começa a investigar o que há de verdade naqueles velhos manuscritos.
