Over dit e-boek
In the opulent yet shadowed halls of the Marshbitter estate, Beethoven’s ‘Waldstein Sonata’ echoes through the air, filling the corridors with its haunting melody. But the music is shattered by a chilling discovery – John Marshbitter’s lifeless body in his private library. The weapon?

The dead man’s mother secures the services of Dexter Drake, a master detective renowned for his razor-sharp intellect and unorthodox methods.
