Detective MacNeice is called to a bizarre crime scene - a young woman lies posed on the floor of a cottage, so that the finger of one hand regularly interrupts a phonograph playing the Schubert Piano Trio. The only visible mark on her is the bruise under her chin, which MacNeice recognizes: the mark of a dedicated violinist, the same mark that once graced his wife. The murder soon entangles MacNeice and his team in Eastern Europe's ancient grievances. Some descriptions of sex, descriptions of violence, strong language. 2011.
