The Man Who Wouldn’t Die
Imagine this: It's a chilly evening in 1745, and you're sipping coffee in a dimly lit London tavern, the kind where whispers of revolution mix with the clink of coins. Suddenly, the door bursts open, and authorities drag in a mysterious stranger-pockets bulging with diamonds, violin in hand, refusing to utter his name. Who was this guy? And why, centuries later, do people swear he's still out there, unchanged, meddling in the world's biggest moments? That's the hook that pulled me into the wild tale of the Count of Saint Germain, and honestly, it left me scratching my head in wonder.
