Death and the Compass

Summary

In a mysterious and somber city, a murder takes place in which Detective Lönnrot—a man of intellect and logic—sees not a random act, but a carefully constructed chain of symbols and clues. Immersing himself in the labyrinth of Jewish Kabbalah, he builds an elaborate theory where every piece of evidence seems part of a grand design. Following these elusive traces, Lönnrot finds himself ensnared in a trap set by a cunning criminal for whom truth and deception are woven into a single game of minds. The story becomes a philosophical parable about the vanity of human reason, the search for meaning in chaos, and how the passion for solving mysteries can lead to one's own downfall.
