A letter from the past. A murder with no reasons. A thirty-years-long mystery can change the balance of the world.

Swiss Alps, today. A man named Wilhelm Lang receives an unexpected letter in the luxury hotel where he lives. That letter leads to a past that he thought buried, when his name was Markus Graf. The sender is Greta, his former colleague when he was a spy, and his old lover.

Meanwhile, in Tiergarten Park in Berlin, a Russian diplomatic is shot to dead. Nina Barbaro, Kriminalhauptkommissar of Italian origins, starts to investigate. She does not believe that behind the crime there is ISIS, despite the pressure to quickly close the case.

Answers are hidden in the past, in Berlin, during the days of the fall of the wall.

Here we find Markus, Nina and Greta, an ambitious KGB agent destined to an important future and a psychologist expert in hypnosis in charge of managing a secret project to form invincible secret agents: the Walrus project, like the evil walrus of John Lennon\’s song and the black tale of Alice in Wonderland.…
