Bernardino's Inheritance - The Printer - Episode 4

Stefano Vignaroli

Sinopse

Year 2020: not even the Lock Down due to the COVID 19 pandemic will be able to stop the work of scholar Lucia Balleani and archaeologist Andrea Franciolini, once again committed to discovering mysterious arcana in the heart of the historic center of Jesi. An ancient underground pipeline and an enigmatic stone sphere will represent two puzzles that are difficult for the young couple of researchers to solve. 
The discoveries of ancient documents and archaeological finds by Andrea and Lucia, will bring us back as usual, to follow the events of the Jesi’s characters of the sixteenth century, their ancestors. The printer Bernardino dictated his last will to a notary before his death, but this is of little interest to the heirs of the Marquis Franciolini and the Countess Baldeschi. The Marquis Alessandro Colocci, husband of Countess Laura Baldeschi, will turn out to be a grim and cowardly character in the service of Pope Paul III, but he will have to deal with the young scion of the Franciolini family, Francesco, very determined in trying to regain possession of the title of Captain of the People, assumed by the Marquis Colocci only by virtue of the fact that he married his older sister Laura.

To Slip the Bonds of Earth

Amanda Flower

The Agatha Award-winning mystery inspired by the Wright Brothers' real-life sister!

While not as famous as her older siblings Wilbur and Orville, the celebrated inventors of flight, Katharine Wright is equally inventive—especially when it comes to solving crimes—in this radiant historical mystery by USA Today bestselling author Amanda Flower.

December 1903: While Wilbur and Orville Wright's flying machine is quite literally taking off in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, with its historic fifty-seven second flight, their sister Katharine is back home in Dayton, Ohio, running the bicycle shop, teaching Latin, and looking after the family. A Latin teacher and suffragette, Katharine is fiercely independent, intellectual, and the only Wright sibling to finish college. But at twenty-nine, she's frustrated by the gender inequality in academia and is looking for a new challenge. She never suspects it will be sleuthing . . .

Returning home to Dayton, Wilbur and Orville accept an invitation to a friend's party. Nervous about leaving their as-yet-unpatented flyer plans unattended, Wilbur decides to bring them to the festivities . . . where they are stolen right out from under his nose. As always, it's Katharine's job to problem solve—and in this case, crime-solve. As she sets out to uncover the thief among their circle of friends, Katharine soon gets more than she bargained for: she finds her number one suspect dead with a letter opener lodged in his chest. It seems the patent is the least of her brothers' worries. They have a far more earthbound concern—prison. Now Katharine will have to keep her feet on the ground and put all her skills to work to make sure Wilbur and Orville are free to fly another day.
