Synesthesia

by Lance Tait

Overview

A visiting professor of music from Denmark, Christian Sorensen, is dead. Another professor at the Tchaikovsky conservatoire, Natalia Marchuik, died two months later. Detective Andriy Yevchenko comes to Professor Lydia Perova�s office to question her about the deceased teachers. He says he suspects that some disgruntled music composition student � a mad genius � has killed the professors as part of large scale frontier-breaking musical symphony that incorporates reality (murder) into its musical drama. It is a far-fetched theory, but Yevchenko thinks it is possible. He is completely lying. His real target is Professor Perova.
