Into the life of a once-famous detective, wanders Linus Steinman, nine years old and mute, who has escaped from Nazi Germany with an African grey parrot. What is the meaning of the mysterious strings of German numbers the bird spews out – a top-secret SS code? The keys to a series of Swiss bank accounts perhaps? Or something more sinister?
