A chain of unlikely events puts a violin back in the hands of ex-punk rocker and down-at-out Mortiz Toth.

Tobias Keller--a Moral Issues Advisor and assistant to the Great Overseer--is under investigation for his role in the affair. To escape his certain fate, he will need to make a compelling case for the moral necessity of interfering in Moritz's life.

Full of riddles and the Kafkaesque, Todorovic's debut novel is a charming and original tale of divine bureaucracy and the restorative power of Puccini.
