Private Counselor Grotius prides himself on his collection of rare Bibles, but one cheap reprint holds a secret darker than any theology. When workmen in a condemned graveyard are terrified by a skull that appears to move across the earth, Grotius discovers a long steel spike hidden within the bone. To identify the assassin, he need only return to his library shelves. Inside a specific volume, a yellowed bookmark remains exactly where a servant placed it years ago, marking the scriptural inspiration for a perfect, silent murder.

History has long painted Marie Louise as the weeping Austrian martyr, sacrificed to the ambition of Napoleon. But her own letters tell a rather different story. Here is a woman who played with wooden soldiers as a child, only to grow into a sovereign who preferred the comfort of her own “corner” in Parma to the glory of the French Empire. While Napoleon languished on St. Helena, his “virtuous” Empress was already quite content with a one-eyed Count, proving that sometimes, the greatest defense against tragedy is simply not caring at all.
