The Curse of Pietro Houdini has everything you want in a historical page-turner of a novel: a colorful cast of characters, some with shadowy pasts; a rich, historical setting in and around the WWII siege of Montecassino; an art heist featuring Renaissance masters; a coming-of-age story in which a young orphan navigates secrets, lies and moral ambiguities as the story unfolds. If you enjoyed City of Thieves or All the Light We Cannot See, don’t miss The Curse of Pietro Houdini! – Diana
