Max-the-wise-mentor. There was no way Max could have known all this unless he had sophisticated spy equipment such as what Coggins would have. Brody's opinion of Coggins went down a few more notches. Brody was sure that Coggins had corrupted his friend in some way.
    Max described several more scenes he couldn't possibly have known about and not all of them were in Brody's apartment. Most were at Brody's job but there was even one in a used book store. That ruled out hidden mikes and cameras. How could Max have known Brody's life so intimately? Was he psychic?
    Brody was skeptical about the whole psychic phenomena thing but he knew that Max was a big believer. Brody remembered the many times Max had asked him for details of things he'd done, mundane things that a friend wouldn't normally ask about. Maybe Max was fishing for verification of his own psychic abilities. This didn't upset Brody as much as spy cameras. Psychics reputedly didn't have a lot of control over their abilities so maybe Max wasn't such an ogre after all.
    There was obviously a lot about Max that Brody didn't know. Max had always been rather tight-lipped about himself, never volunteering information even to his best friend Brody, but this was ridiculous! Here was a whole side of Max that Brody had never seen or even so much as guessed at. Brody sure hadn't visualized Max as some sort of psychic peeping Tom. No wonder Max wanted to keep these papers a secret.
    Part of Brody was losing interest in helping his friend and he was tempted to forget the whole thing and just let Max's fate do whatever it wanted. The other part couldn't stop reading, wondering what else would unfold in Max's secret papers and diaries. Brody caught a break from the peeping Tom entries and went back to Georg Cantor, this time with his genealogy and family connections.
We find another connection between Georg Cantor and Albert Einstein through Cantor's mother Maria Anna Bohm. Maria married Georg's father, who was also named Georg. The senior Georg's full name was Georg Woldemar Cantor, whose father Jakob was from Copenhagen, and whose sister married Josef (aka Joseph) Grimm, a chamber musician for the Royal Court.

Maria's family also included Joseph Bohm, a gifted violinist who was Georg's great-uncle. Joseph Bohm was born in Pest (Budapest), Hungary in 1795. He went on to become a professor at the Vienna Conservatory of Music.

Decades later, David Joseph Bohm, who was born in 1917 in Pennsylvania of a Hungarian father, worked side by side with Albert Einstein at Princeton University. David Bohm was an assistant professor and Einstein taught physics. David's father, whose name was known as Solomon (aka Samuel or Shalom), was born in Munkacs, Hungary.

Munkacs later became part of Transylvania, then fell under Austrian control, was then ceded to Czechoslovakia, after which it became part of the Soviet Union, and was finally ceded to the Ukraine. The place once known as Munkacs, Hungary is now Mukachevo, Ukraine.
    Brody wondered if this mention of Transylvania had any connection to the Transylvanian prince in Kent, England. He'd always thought that Transylvania was a mythical place where Dracula and his fellow vampires came swooping out of the mists to suck the blood of beautiful women. He hadn't realized that Transylvania was a real place which had passed through many hands including the Huns (as in Attila the Hun), the Avars, the Ottomans, the Hungarians, the Mongols, and had even been populated with Romany Gypsies.
    Max's book had mentioned the Romany Gypsies in Kent along with their lost treasure, Urania Cottage, Charles Dickens, and astronomer Edmond Halley. Perhaps Max's fascination had more to do with lost treasure than with his family roots.
The distance between Budapest, Hungary where Georg's great-uncle Joseph Bohm was born, and Mukachevo, Ukraine (formerly Munkacs, Hungary) where David Joseph Bohm's father was born, is roughly 225 miles. Therefore, it's possible that Joseph
