Whispering Reeds, or the Anglesey Catamanus Inscription Stript Bare: A Detective Story

He then goes on to investigate the Irish cleric who composed the inscription, secretly encoding in the letters vain self-references and scandalous innuendos regarding the heros "true" character. Thomas leads us through the complexities of Christian symbolism, Roman letter-games, word patterns, and colloquial Latin, in order to expose the outrageous truth hiding within the inscription.
