Die Auster

The manager of a legendary department store is found murdered. However, by the time the police arrive at the crime scene, Leonora Bloch has already erased all traces, as discreetly and thoroughly as she has dealt with any form of disorder for the past 45 years as a cleaner at Dr. Bronstett. When the investigation leads to the oyster bar on the fifth floor, one is already immersed in the microcosm of this department store, which thrives on the paradoxical longing for past splendor and affordable luxury. And no one seems to know this world, where glamour and misery, poverty and wealth meet so disarmingly, better than 74-year-old Leonora. But does she really know all the secrets, and which ones does she keep to herself? The celebrated stylist Yael Inokai stages a crime story that conceals a finely woven web of human destinies.
