The Other Book at the University

Description

The manager of a legendary department store is found murdered. But before the police arrive at the crime scene, Leonora Bloch has erased all traces – as discreetly and thoroughly as she has dealt with every form of disorder for 45 years as a cleaning lady at Dr. Bronstett. When the investigation leads to the oyster bar on the fifth floor, one is already in the midst of the microcosm of this department store. The celebrated stylist Yael Inokai stages a crime story that reveals a finely woven network of human destinies. Yael Inokai, born in 1989 in Basel, lives in Berlin. Her second novel Mahlstrom was awarded the Swiss Literature Prize in 2018. It has been translated into seven languages.
