Da Vinci's Lost Years — Sylvia Rochester

Ever wonder how Da Vinci could conjure up such futuristic concepts? Maybe he saw them. After striking a bargain with the Old One, a weaver of time, young Leonardo lands in 1969 New Orleans at the height of Mardi Gras. But things go awry when this medieval man befriends an unlikely couple--T-Man, an inept artist who moonlights as a bag man for the mob, and Monique, an amputee, grateful for T-Man's attention. Throw in murder and romance and you're set for an adventurous romp through history.
