Hi everybody.

I’m trying to shop for a co-worker whose really into historical/mystery/occult fiction. Things that he’s enjoyed in the past are:

Umberto Eco’s The Name of the Rose and Foucault’s Pendalum

Arturo Perez-Riverte’s The Club Dumas

Things he did not enjoy: Dan Brown.

He also likes historical “in-period” fiction, so i’ve been looking around for fictional works that deal directly with the Renaissance and weird/mysterious matters.

Suggestions are always welcome, if you’ve got an idea i’m all ears.
