Профессор Леонард, преподаватель истории искусства Кембриджского университета, оказал большое доверие своему студенту Адаму Стрикленду и предложил ему в качестве темы для курсовой работы исследование сада старинной виллы в Тоскане, чуть южнее Флоренции. Поначалу сад не вызывал у Адама особого интереса, но позже, когда в расположении и позах античных скульптур проявился некий сюжет, Адам понял, что сад заключает в себе послание. Вилла, в которой всегда была заперта дверь на третий этаж, и сад хранили тайны семьи Доччи. И далеко не все были рады тому, что Адам попытался их раскрыть.

Увлекшись расследованием, Чедвик слишком…
