In postwar Vienna, a pulp writer arrives to visit an old friend but finds him dead and the circumstances unclear. As he investigates reports of a mysterious third man, he faces official resistance, conflicting stories, and complicated feelings for the dead man's grieving lover.
You’ll like this if you enjoy morally complex mysteries, dark atmosphere, and classic noir such as The Maltese Falcon; Not for you if you need fast pacing or dislike distinctive, repetitive music.
