On the Crime Tram with Yael Inokai and «The Oyster»

Description

A luxury department store, a dead managing director, and a loyal cleaning lady who hides more secrets than she reveals. The celebrated stylist Yael Inokai stages a crime story in «The Oyster» that contains a finely woven network of human fates. The managing director of a legendary department store is found murdered. But before the police arrive at the scene, Leonora Bloch has erased all traces, as discreetly and thoroughly as she has been dealing with disorder for 45 years as a cleaning lady at Dr. Bronstett. When the investigations lead to the oyster bar on the fifth floor, one is already in the microcosm of this department store, which lives on the paradoxical longing for past splendor and affordable luxury. And no one seems to know this world better than the 73-year-old Leonora, where glamour and misery, poverty and wealth meet so disarmingly. But does she really know all the secrets, and which ones does she keep herself?
