About the Book
The fifth in the series of Frances Yates mysteries, At the Crossroads takes place in Budapest, where Dame Frances gave her last public talk in 1980. In this fictional visit, she is invited to give the keynote address at a conference at Central European University regarding varying faith traditions of Central Europe. In her talk regarding the Hermetic Tradition, she highlights the issue: We have ignored Central Europe. Accompanied by her usual traveling companions, including a Scotland Yard detective and an American lawyer turned historian, she encounters avid admirers, a cadre of unruly Russians, as well as the cultural and culinary delights of Budapest.
