Summary
<p>A killer is stalking Hollywood, and it is up to the hunchback to hunt him down. But where in the Getty’s manuscripts can he find the clue to the killer's identity? In David Angsten’s <em>The Medievalist</em>, a noir style murder mystery set around Hollywood, a Catholic monk’s life has taken a long and winding path to Los Angeles, from farm boy to university professor to Uber driver/ aspiring script writer. While working on a script of Dante’s <em>Divine Comedy</em>, the monk finds himself caught in the middle of a murder investigation and is surrounded by suspects, detectives and bystanders. Everyone looks guilty, including the monk, in this city’s hedonistic atmosphere. In this week’s Mosaic Ark, the ladies welcome the author and speak with him about his inspirations for this story, including his own path to becoming a script writer and novelist. —Streamed May 16, 2025</p><p>Buy David's book! <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Medievalist-David-Angsten/dp/B0DYVMSN95/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.amazon.com/Medievalist-David-Angsten/dp/B0DYVMSN95/</a> David's website: <a href="https://davidangsten.com/home" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">https://davidangsten.com/home</a></p>
