Every night at 02:13, six phone booths rang on Kottbusser Damm. Only Booth #3 was supposed to ring.

1986, East Berlin. Seventeen-year-old Mika Richter works the night shift at TELE-STAR, his family's telephone shop. He logs every call in a ledger to save paper. Small.

When a body is found frozen on the highway - identified as Thomas Richter, the older brother - Mika's family buries a stranger and keeps the secret. Because Thomas didn't drown trying to swim to the West. He became Michael and lived five years in Chicago.

For six years, a man called the Crier has paid one coin every night at 02:13 to hear his brother's voice on an answering machine tape.

Now the tape has been erased by the phone company. The last voice is gone. And Mika must decide what no one did in 1986: to bury them right.

TELE-STAR: Booth #3 is a haunting literary mystery about identity, guilt, and a family that kept one light on at 02:13 for anyone trying to come home.

Perfect for readers of The German House, All the Light We Cannot See, and The Shadow of the Wind.
