A Spree of Elderly Murders: Fina Plank Pursues the "Cuckoo" in Vienna's Streets
Ursa Poznanski seeks the performance of "Devil's Dance"
By Thomas Badtke
Notable Mention: A series of mysterious murders have gripped Vienna, with the victims all being octogenarians. But fear not, for investigator Fina Plank, known in her circles as "short, compact, messed up, and burdened with a silly first name," is on the case!
Fina may seem unconventional, but she's tough as nails and has earned the respect of her colleagues – save for a few jerks like Oliver, who always try to belittle her. But Fina's got a ace up her sleeve, thanks to her friend Georg.
Family Ties: Fina's personal life isn't exactly smooth sailing, though. Her rebellious sister refuses to work and is fast becoming an unwanted houseguest. Fina's trying her best to keep her focus at work, with the murder investigation taking priority over her sister's antics.
Old Men Dropping Like Flies
Elderly men are dropping left and right in Vienna, and Fina's determined to uncover the connection. The "Cuckoo" – a name Fina suspects the killer has taken – has been operating in the shadows for years, but it seems that this time, the murderer has a taste for the spotlight.
Could this elusive serial killer be taunting Fina? Time will tell, but one thing's for sure – Fina's got her work cut out for her!
