In a villa outside Zurich lives the elderly Dr. Stotz, surrounded by portraits of a young woman. Melody was once his fiancée, but shortly before their wedding, more than forty years ago, she disappeared. Stotz never recovered from his loss and has dedicated his life to searching for her. Knowing that he has only a few months left to live, and in order to put his estate and legacy in order, Stotz hires a young man who urgently needs a job. Little by little, as he delves into the papers, Tom begins to wonder if Stotz is really who he claims to be, if his life has been as he tells it and if Melody ever existed. Melody is a contemporary thriller in which the truth has many faces. A wonderfully romantic story, a captivating read, set in Zurich and Greece, whose plot takes countless twists and turns that keep readers glued to their seats until the last page.
