About The Birthmark Murders: “Death is a Cabaret, Old Chum.” by Janus Lucky
When Mikael, a half-Finnish New Zealander, returns to his father’s homeland after decades away, he isn’t looking for trouble—just answers. His father, Mikael Långberg, once a brilliant theatre director, died under mysterious circumstances during the final days of a notorious Cabaret production. Officially ruled a suicide. Unofficially? Nothing adds up.
Teaming up with a reluctant old friend, a sharp-tongued editor and translator of famous sci-fi novels, Pekka Wall, and a local young misfit, Mikael plunges into Finland’s eccentric, icy underworld—where silence speaks volumes, humour cuts deep, and the past never stays buried. As layers of performance, paranoia, and betrayal unfold, he discovers that solving a murder is easy… compared to facing the truth.
Darkly funny, emotionally layered, and rich with a Finnish atmosphere, The Birthmark Murders is a mystery that dances between satire and sorrow, theatre and truth, love and obsession. Prepare to laugh, flinch, and turn pages late into the night.
