«La sangre del escorpión» is the historical mystery novel by Massimo Marcotullio, published by RBA in hardcover (512 pages, in Spanish).
Rome, 1666. The Jesuit Athanasius Kircher predicts misfortunes by reading the sky; soon, brutal murders of Jesuits shake the city: the hitman nicknamed the Scorpion acts with impunity. The painter Giovanni Battista Sacchi portrayed the killer without knowing it; his life is in danger, and pursuing him with the help of the fortune-teller Beatrice is his only way out.

For those who enjoy historical mystery and intrigue novels, set in Roman baroque and with inquisitorial trials.
