My latest historical novel, The Medieval Adventures of Thomas Aquinas, is a collection of detective stories in which the Dominican Master encounters a series of puzzling mysteries during his life.The chapter entitled The Pursuit of Truth finds Thomas in 1244, soon after taking his Domincan habit. On his way to meet up with the Master General of the Dominicans Thomas is kidnapped by his elder brother Rinaldo and is taken to the family castle in Montesangiovanni. Not at all pleased that Thomas has joined a mendicant order, his family hopes to force Thomas to renounce his vows.
While being held prisoner in the tower of the castle, Thomas learns of the mysterious death of local farmer. Without leaving the confines of his prison cell, Thomas discovers the truth.
This story has Thomas expounding his views about marriage and sex.
Stephen Gaspar's books can be found on Amazon
