In a new gripping story by Nina Yagolnitzer, tragic events that took place in Italy in the sixteenth century are brought to life. An occultist commits suicide during a family celebration, an entire family dies in a fire, and the residents of an aristocrat’s castle are cruelly wiped out. All of these events are connected to a mysterious warlock who possesses a magical artifact capable of controlling the human soul. The case is investigated by a blind thief—pocket-pickpocket Giuseppe—who uses his blindness as his main weapon.
