Il regista e l'Imperatore

The Detective of the Impossible is invited to inaugurate an exhibition on Stanley Kubrick with a speech on fake news linked to the great director. Among these is the one that would see him involved in the making of a film on the fake moon landing. After Martin has debunked all the conspiracy theories, a young podcaster approaches him informing him that she knows of an enigma linked to a film Kubrick never made about the figure of Napoleon Bonaparte. Intrigued, Mystère decides to follow the girl to the island of Saint Helena, the site of the Emperor's last exile... The book is completed by a story by Uncle Boris, the column "The Thousand Worlds of Alfredo Castelli", and the strips by Docteur Mystère! Martin's journey on the trail of the mystery of Napoleon, a film which the great director Stanley Kubrick never began shooting, continues in Saint Helena, in the middle of the Atlantic, where Bonaparte spent his final exile. Here the Detective of the Impossible finds an unpublished screenplay in which Kubrick describes hitherto unknown facts of the Emperor's life which push Good Old Uncle Marty all the way to Egypt, the scene of the famous French campaign of conquest, where he begins to understand that he is the victim of a growing obsession which had already claimed illustrious victims in the past... The book is completed by a story of Uncle Boris, the column "The Thousand Worlds of Alfredo Castelli", and the comic strips Docteur Mystère!
