The Italian scientist Guglielmo Marconi was the real inventor of wireless communication, which includes, for example, radio, cellphones and even the new self-driving cars.The main characters of Maurizio Agostini's books are two 'accidental detectives': Marcello, an accountant without any notable qualities, and Francesca, a very feminine transgender person. They meet Eleonora, a distant descendant of the great Guglielmo, while she is investigating the last invention of Marconi: the Death Ray, a secret weapon that destroys weapons.Mussolini was convinced till his end that, if Marconi hadn't died, the war would have ended very differently.During their investigations, our protagonists encounter international intrigues, scientific mysteries, unbelievable accidents with 'zero probability' and discover the true Marconi, who was very different from his official image. And... they also remain involved in an intriguing 'menage a trois'.In the end, they succeed in discovering the 'musical secret' of the Death Ray, at present hidden in the most impenetrable archive in the world.
