On a summer evening, in the dark, stony streets of Tallinn, the ancient Estonian capital, four people ?witness? a mysterious murder. Yet, there is much more to this case than meets the eye?much, much more.A beautiful young girl, Älis, has just had dessert with her brutal and possessive boyfriend in a café when he is suddenly shot outside.
