BOOK TWO Quijote y Yo: Y La Ciencia Asesina—Quixote and I: And The Murderous Science

DESTINATION: ITALY. PURPOSE: TO VISIT GALILEO GALILEI, ONE OF THE FEW SCIENTISTS OF HIS TIME TO ASSERT THAT THE EARTH MOVES AROUND THE SUN, AND NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND. DANCING, SPEAKING ITALIAN, EATING PASTA AND LEARNING SCIENCE—LUCÍA IS IN HEAVEN! AND BEST OF ALL, NO MORE MURDERS TO SOLVE—EVER 

THEIR FRIEND ANTONIETA GONZALES IS NOW A FUGITIVE—THE ROYAL FAMILY THAT BOUGHT HER WANTS HER BACK. THEY THOUGHT A HOODED CAPE WOULD TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM, UNTIL THEY SAW POSTERS HANGING ALL OVER EUROPE OFFERING A JUICY REWARD FOR HER HEAD.  

OH...AND SHE MIGHT NOT BE THE ONLY PERSON BEING PERSECUTED. IS THAT GIORDANO BRUNO ABOUT TO GET BURNED BY AN INQUISITOR? AND COULD IT BE THAT SOPHIA BRAHE, HER BROTHER TYCHO, KATHARINA GULDENMANN AND HER SON JOHANNES KEPLER ALSO JOIN THE FUGITIVE PARTY?  

THE MORE THE MERRIER, RIGHT? STRENGTH IN NUMBERS? NOT WHEN ONE OF THEM HAS THIRD-DEGREE BURNS, ANOTHER ONE KIDNEY ISSUES, ANOTHER ONE IS PREGNANT AND ANOTHER ONE HAS...A CERTAIN GENETIC CONDITION. BUT HEY, WITH WITCHES, HEALERS, GARDENERS, ALCHEMISTS, HERBALISTS, MATHEMATICIANS, CHEMISTS, GENEALOGISTS, MUSICIANS AND ANATOMISTS ON THEIR SIDE, IT SEEMS THEY’RE COVERED. HEY, ANYTHING IS BETTER THAN HAVING TO SOLVE MURDERS. 

EXCEPT...IT’S HARD TO IGNORE THEM WHEN THEY START HAPPENING AGAIN. AS THEIR JOURNEY PROGRESSES, ANTONIA AND HER FRIENDS SOON REALIZE PERSECUTION BY ROYALTY AND THE CATHOLIC CHURCH MIGHT BE THE LEAST OF THEIR PROBLEMS. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN SANN’S LOVE FOR DRAWING TURNS AGAINST THEM AND HEALING ARTS TURN DEADLY? THEY BETTER FIGURE IT OUT FASTER THAN A VENUS FLYTRAP CAN CATCH A FLY, OR THEY MIGHT BE NEXT.
