From the back cover:
Winner of the Premio Strega, and Prix Medici Awards
'Imagine a medieval castle run by the Benedictines, with cellarists, herbalists, gardeners, young novices. One after the other half a dozen monks are found murdered in the most bizarre of ways. A learned Franciscan who is sent to solve the mystery finds himself involved in the frightening events... a sleuth's pursuit of the truth behind the mystery also involves the pursuit of meaning - in words, symbols, ideas, every conceivable sign the visible universe contains... Umberto Eco has written a novel - his first - and it has become a literary event.'
