Der Komponist Und Seine Richterin

Więcej o książce

The bodies are discovered on New Year's Day: sixteen dead in the freshly fallen snow. The adults lie stiff in a semicircle: the children, in pajams and overcoats are curled at their feet. When he gets the report, Commissaire Andre Schweigen knows just who to call: Judge Dominique Carpentier, also known as the "sect hunter." She is the recognized expert in this field, brilliant and relentlessly rational, but Schweigen has his own reasons for wanting her on his case. In the vacated chalet, the investigators uncover an encoded book of celestial maps that points them to the inhospitable doorstep of a composer, Fredrich Gross. but as the skeptial sect hunter earns the Composer's trust, she finds herself drawn into a world of complex family ties and ancient cosmic beliefs, unable - and increasingly unwilling - to escape. Interrogating faith, immortality, and passion, The Strange Case of the Composer and His Judge is a metaphysical mystery of extraordinary power.
