Conspiracies fascinate me. When I visited the Rozabal shrine in Srinagar before writing my first book, I remember thinking that the person enshrined there was no ordinary mortal. History is rife with mysteries, and that visit ignited a fire to unveil some of them.
Venice is incredible. Although you may have seen it in pictures, you can’t grasp how beautiful it is until you visit.
