Delve into the mysterious disappearance of Inventor Randolph Diesel!

Join us at 3:00pm on Wednesday, May 1 for a virtual chat with Douglas Brunt, New York Times bestselling author of the non-fiction book, The Mysterious Case of Rudolph Diesel: Genius, Power, and Deception on the Eve of World War I.

September 29, 1913: the steamship Dresden is halfway between Belgium and England. On board is one of the most famous men in the world, Rudolf Diesel, one of the world’s greatest inventors and whose new internal combustion engine is on the verge of revolutionizing global industry forever. But Diesel never arrives at his destination. He vanishes during the night and headlines around the world wonder if it was an accident, suicide, or murder.

In his debut work, Brunt reopens the case to provide a compelling new conclusion about Diesel’s fate. Learn how he conducted his research into this obscure mystery to weave a gripping tale of empowerment and deceit. Participants can submit questions which, should time allow, will be asked of the author.
