You know these people. You just don't know it yet.
A busboy cradles a dying man's head on a hotel kitchen floor. A dentist jokes with a patient too numb to laugh back. A cat terrorizes the halls of 10 Downing Street. A prisoner in a Genoese cell spins tales too wild to be believed.
By the last line of each story, you'll know exactly who you're reading about-and it won't be who you thought.
REVEAL takes 99 true moments from history and drops you straight into them: no names, no dates up front, just a scene, a person, and a secret the story is dying to tell you. Some will make you laugh. Some will break your heart. All of them will end the same way-with the ground shifting under you as a familiar name lands where you least expect it.
Drawn from decades of research and a lifetime of storytelling, these are history's best-kept open secrets, retold the way they deserve to be: as the page-turners they always were.
Turn the page. You won't see it coming-until you do.
