The Tragic Fate of Moritz Toth

A chain of unlikely events puts a violin back in the hands of ex-punk rocker and down-at-out Mortiz Toth.

Tobias Keller—a Moral Issues Advisor and assistant to the Great Overseer—is under investigation for his role in the affair. To escape his certain fate, he will need to make a compelling case for the moral necessity of interfering in Moritz’s life.

Full of riddles and the Kafkaesque, Todorovic’s debut novel is a charming and original tale of divine bureaucracy and the restorative power of Puccini.

Part of the Peter Owen World Series: Serbia, in association with Istros Books.
