Catherine Lockhart and Liam Taggart are invited to dinner at an Italian restaurant. The aunt of its owner and their longtime friend wants to be evicted from a farm in the Tuscan hills by a very influential corporation that claims to have ownership rights to the land. Catherine and Liam receive the only clue in the form of a handwritten German biography, which hides a long-forgotten story...

Ada Baumgarten was born in Berlin at the end of the war, precisely in 1918. She was the daughter of a renowned musician who played first violin in the prestigious Berlin Philharmonic, and became a brilliant violinist herself. In her childhood, she lived surrounded by the rich culture and select society of interwar Berlin. That's when she also started a deep relationship with her friend Kurt. However, the current of history took a different direction. Ada was Jewish and social pressures soon deprived her of a boyfriend.

What happened to Ada? How is her life connected to the lawsuit over the ownership of the Tuscan farm? Catherine and Liam gradually dive into deep lies, corruption and human evil, but at the bottom they find a story full of kindness, revenge and hope, the end of which has not yet been written.
