About the author
A.M. Dean is the literary pseudonym of a leading academic authority on ancient cultures and the history of religious belief, whose expertise in late antiquity has earned him posts at some of the world's most prestigious universities. An abiding interest in the human tendency toward conspiracies, together with a commanding grasp of the genuinely mysterious context of real history, inspire the breadth and focus of his creative works. The Lost Library is his first novel.
