Publisher's Synopsis

In 1765, doctors in Venice were stumped by the death of a man who suffered from chronic insomnia. Over the next two centuries, this rare, inherited disease continued to baffle the experts as it struck the family at random, passing from generation to generation like a deadly dynastic curse.
