Nøkkelord Skinny Dipping

Livet er en lek for Jack Ryan. Som surfebums og svindler lever han glade dager på nordkysten av Oahu. Så møter han en velformet, smidig og slank skjønnhet med en enkel plan som hun sier kan innbringe henne og Jack en pen sum. Alt Jack trenger å gjøre er å gå fattig inn i et hus. Og spasere rik ut igjen. Litt simpelt tyveri...

Helpless, the young convent student Richard has to watch as his mother Sarazenin Zobeida is condemned by the inquisitor Heinrich Institoris as a witch and burned at the stake. From then on, Richard swears revenge on Institoris for what he did to his family. He can escape and is taken by the merchant Jakob Fugger. He wants to teach him not only to seek blind revenge, but to manipulate people like puppets and thus to reach his goals. The two travel from Florence to Rome to influence the upcoming election of the pope and to witness the power struggle between the Medicis and the Borgias up close.
