You can start this mystery by finding a note on the desk in the room to the side of the office that makes a point of noting the owner’s four favorite books. Head into the big room with the statue and you’ll see a bookshelf along one of the walls. If you’ve ever seen an episode of Scooby Doo before then you’ll know what to do, as there are four books on the lowest shelf that are secret switches.

You need to pull all four in the correct order, which just so happens to be:

  • Second
  • Fourth
  • First
  • Third

Do so and a compartment at the end of the table will pop up containing some money and another note continuing the correspondence between Mussolini and his ally in the Vatican.
