La sombra del impostor

Turin, 16th century. This is a story about corrupt men pursuing a noble end, and noble men committing atrocities. It is also a tale of madness and superstition; of a relentless inquisitor and a young engineer ahead of his time; of a father and a son who hate and need each other; of an unscrupulous hustler who will discover that he is worth more than he himself believes; of a teenager who runs away from herself until she finds herself on the verge of death, and of a mysterious invisible killer who lurks in the shadows. But, above all, it is an epic of violence and intrigues to put an end to the Pope of Rome and the powerful families that keep an Italy weakened by war divided. And all this, backed by a great lie that will last through the centuries.
