The Medieval Adventures of Thomas Aquinas

My new historical mystery/detective novel is entitled The Medieval Adventures of Thomas Aquinas.

The 13th century was a pivotal point in Western culture. Europe witnessed the rise of great universities and the resurgence of Aristotelian thought. It was the age of reason. 

No man exemplified this new age more than Saint Thomas Aquinas, who was a brilliant theologian, philosopher and privatos investigo. He was the man who perfected faith through reason. 

The Medieval Adventures of Thomas Aquinas is a fictional account of the crimes and mysteries St. Thomas encountered during his life. Though a work of fiction, extensive research was carried out to maintain historic accuracy and integrity of the life and times of St. Thomas.

The Medieval Adventures of Thomas Aquinas is available in paperback and Kindle on Amazon. Click on this link to view all of Stephen Gaspar's books on Amazon.

Thomas Aquinas and The Prime Mover

My new historical mystery/detective novel, The Medieval Adventures of Thomas Aquinas, has the 13th century theologian/philosopher solving crimes and mysteries.

In 1272 Thomas Aquinas travels to Naples to take the post as regent master. When one of his scribes is found murdered Thomas can not help but investigate the death. 

What follows is a rash of deaths that to most would appear as a tragedy of vendettas. Thomas, however sees something more... something nefarious.

While giving a lecture on Quinque viae--five ways or proofs that God's existence could be proved rationally using the human intellect, Thomas learns who is behind the recent murders in Naples.
