Now this sounds quite a bit like Umberto Eco's "Il pendolo di
Foucault". Don't ask me about the English title for the book.
Three Italian lectors find a coded document, supposedly written
by the Templars in the 14th century, and use it as a starting
piece for a kind of intellectual puzzle. In the end, they invent
the world conspiracy to explain their musings and, lo and behold,
one after one, people start dying.

Is it postmodern? I don't know (and I don't really care). But is
it UAble? Hell yes.

Go ahead, give it a try. And don't be intimidated by the first
few chapters.

Read ya later,
	Marc
