The Name of the Rose

In a remote 14th-century abbey, a Franciscan monk and his young novice arrive for a theological gathering just as several monks die under mysterious circumstances. The monk investigates the killings, navigating religious power struggles, forbidden knowledge, and a dangerous labyrinth of secrets before church authorities impose their own harsh methods.
