*Vanished Geniuses* takes you deep into the unsettling stories of some of history's most brilliant figures — and the dark mysteries that stole them from us.

• Ettore Majorana, the Italian physicist who unlocked the secrets of matter, then walked away into oblivion, leaving only riddles in his wake.
• A Soviet scientist on the brink of cold fusion, whose work — and very existence — vanished into the shadowy machinery of the KGB.
• Louis Le Prince, the true father of motion pictures, who stepped onto a train and was never seen again.
• Alexis Carrel, a Nobel Prize surgeon whose chilling ideas on immortality were buried alongside his reputation.

Plus other haunting cases of lost minds and missing blueprints that remind us: genius is fragile, history is easily rewritten, and sometimes the world we know was shaped just as much by what disappeared as by what endured.

A must-read for lovers of dark history, unsolved mysteries, and the quiet questions that still linger in the silent spaces of time.
