[181]-183) Summary:  The celebrated mathematician and philosopher Pythagoras left no writings. But what if he had and the manuscript was never found? Where would it be located? And what information would it reveal? These questions are the inspiration for the mathematical mystery novel Pythagoras' Revenge.

Jule Davidson, a young American mathematician, answers difficult math riddles on the Internet and stumbles upon a neo-Pythagorean sect searching for the promised reincarnation of Pythagoras. From academic Oxford to suburban Chicago and historic Rome, "Pythagoras' revenge" is a sophisticated thriller. Genre:  Mystery fiction. Academic mystery. Suspense fiction.
