Description
The teacher Steiner has built himself a tower – supposedly so that he can survey the surroundings. But the story making the rounds at the inn is that he's planning to throw his wife from the parapet. But then he himself is found dead at the foot of the tower, with a crushed skull and empty eyes.
Who exploited Steiner's nefarious plan for their own ends? And who will inherit the estate, which the teacher never wanted in the first place? His wife – or the brother he so disliked, and whose name was once prematurely engraved on a war memorial? But as it turned out he survived the war after all. Instead of his life, he only lost an arm on the battlefield – and all trace of humanity.
