Chapter 1: The Mysterious Letter
     
     
    The envelope contains a small corner of
paper, apparently torn from a manuscript, and a note that reads ‘If
you want more, come to 60-12 Piazza de Castagno 1, Rome, Italy,
81053.’ There is no mention of a date or time. I flip the envelope

of these stimulate my interest. Anyway they’re pretty well
documented. No, there’s something missing…
    Missing…
    Now I get interested. What’s ‘missing’ from that period? Was that what
