There are ways and means of doing this sort of book and this wasn't one of them. You really need to base it in real history and just warp a few minor points rather than have the historian in me. It wasn't a bad book but it was a book that could have been tidied up by a good editor.
It's a story of a woman whose life is turned around when she inherits a set of manuscripts when her brother dies. There are several interested parties in these documents and they're all determined to get them. During the investigations she finds out more about her family's past and she has to decided what to do with the papers.
It's a bit better thought out than the [book:da vinci code] but that's not saying an awful lot.
