Long before the fall of the Roman Empire, a secretive corps known as the Curiosi gathered intelligence for Emperor Constantine. Their name disappeared from public record-but not from existence. In the shadows of history, the society evolved, and today, their modern counterparts still work behind the scenes, solving the world's most unusual mysteries.
In this volume of cases drawn from the Curiosi's clandestine archives, a circle of eccentric investigators follows the faintest of clues across Paris, southern France, and the labyrinthine canals of Venice. From the recovery of a long-lost Hemingway manuscript in a forgotten railway depot, to the shocking truth behind a surrealist painting that could rewrite the rules of physics, each mystery takes readers further into the unknown. Bound by intellect, curiosity, and a pact of silence, the Curiosi include a Parisian archivist, a Colorado bookseller, a troubadour with ancient ties, and a nun with a scholar's eye for relics. But the deeper they dig, the more tangled the past becomes-and the more dangerous.
