- Summary:
- In early 1417 Peru, an old Inca rope bridge in the Andes collapses, plunging five travelers to their deaths. Brother Juniper becomes obsessed with discovering how these five people came to be on the bridge at that moment, wanting to know if it was mere existential happenstance or part of God's cosmic plan. Eventually, he is accused of heresy put on trial for his life by the Inquisition.
