Vienna — a city built on music, myth, and secrets. When a series of brutal murders erupts across the city, each staged with unsettling precision after scenes from Mozart’s operas, the public is horrified. For Elena Mar, a fiercely talented young conductor on the verge of her breakthrough, the killings strike a deeper chord: every crime scene contains a musical cipher that only someone with her training could interpret.
Reluctantly pulled into the investigation, Elena discovers that the murders follow the hidden structure of Mozart’s lost Black Manuscript — a composition long dismissed as legend. But the music is real. And someone is using it as a blueprint for murder.
As Elena decodes the score, she uncovers a secret society embedded in Vienna’s cultural institutions, obsessed with “restoring” what they believe to be the true history of Mozart. To them, Elena’s sudden rise as a conductor makes her a threat — and a perfect pawn. Worse, her own family history is entangled in the conspiracy in ways she never imagined.
When one of her closest mentors becomes the next victim, the mystery turns personal. Elena must navigate a labyrinth of forged documents, hidden archives, and masked patrons who operate behind the velvet curtains of Vienna’s most prestigious stages. Every answer she extracts from Mozart’s music leads to deeper danger — and to the realization that the final movement of the Black Manuscript predicts not just another murder, but the destruction of everything she holds dear.
KILL MOZART blends high-culture glamour with psychological suspense, revealing a Vienna where the brilliance of genius conceals centuries of deception. A tense, character-driven thriller about legacy, identity, and the deadly power of music — based on an original concept.
