Motet

*Motet* is an expert unraveling of the threads of an unsolved murder that took place in the underworld of the sixties, and a powerful tale of evil and temptation. But at the heart of *Motet* is a love story, a tale of a music professor whose life is thrown into confusion by his new and passionate lover - and the unexpected appearance of her ex-husband. *Motet* is a hypnotic, intense read.
