He’s a doctor whose patients have a way of dying; a lawyer, who uses his skills to squirm out of criminal convictions. He’s a scholar, but other scholars have no idea what he’s talking about. He’s a family man, but one day, his wife and baby disappear forever. Only two things are clear: Edward Rulloff is a mystery, and everywhere he goes, death and destruction follow. While the criminal justice system has its hands full trying to keep and convict Edward Rulloff, the world will argue whether he’s a genius, a scam artist or a madman. Even Mark Twain has an opinion.

Er verschenkte Glückseligkeiten und verteilte Bösartigkeiten. Die Biografie versucht, diesen Abgrund auszuloten. Mozart selbst hat das Problem in die Welt gesetzt, mit der sich seine Verehrer und seine Biografen herumschlagen: Er schrieb Briefe, die seine menschlichen Schwächen bloßlegen.
