About this Book

Print Excerpt


Until me.

I entered their story decades after they were lost to anonymity— their beautiful theorem referenced and used, but old enough that no one asked anymore what had happened to its authors, no one questioned where they'd gone. But now I've discovered the truth of what happened to them, and why they never published again. And I believe I've found how their work may open a door to the heart of the Riemann hypothesis—where, if I'm right, I could be the first to go.
