[edit] Story
The story begins in the dark of night, atop a cliff overlooking the Rhine Valley at Burg Katz. Two men clad in strange helmets struggle, and one of them falls but lands on a ledge. But his opponent does not give up, and shoots him from a tower of the castle with a carbine fitted with an infrared scope. Then he takes the body away.
While traveling the length of the Rhine river for a documentary they are producing, Yoko and her friends come upon a sad girl who becomes the victim of attempted murder. Yoko and Pol rescue the girl, who turns out to be a famous organist called Ingrid Hallberg. Investigating the recent death of Ingrid's father - he had allegedly committed suicide by throwing himself before a train -, she and Yoko discover a replica of the legendary Devil's Organ inside the walls of Burg Katz. The sinister organ, able to induce madness by its infrasonic music alone, is a crucial instrument in an even more sinister plan of an enemy who stops at nothing to gain his uncle's fortune.
[edit] Trivia
- This volume features the Köln-Düsseldorfer (full name: Köln-Düsseldorfer Deutsche Rheinschiffahrt AG (KD)), a company which offers river-ship tours between Mannheim to Cologne, along the Rhine Valley, and the Mosel river.
