The side street turned out to be a narrow, chilly dead end that led to a two-story building. The high, metallic door with a bas-relief, four first-floor windows, and five second-floor windows were secured with attractive wrought-iron grating, like in films about Paris.

There were other buildings in the side street. They were nondescript and unremarkable in every way, and it was immediately clear that the Angel was pointing at this one. Nothing about the building seemed exceptional, but it stood out prominently among the others. It was like a painting. Depicted in painstaking detail, it was a colorful central object on the pale background of a city landscape that the artist deliberately ignored so he could instead highlight the picture’s conceptual center.

“That’s the one we’re looking for.” Gumshoe strode toward the building. “Did you also feel that?”

“Of course! So was Grandma leading me to this building with her clues? But what’s in it?”

“It can’t be!” Gumshoe interrupted, stopping in front of the copper door. “I’ll be damned. This is it! That very house!”

The door was decorated with a bas-relief of a male head with menacing, protruding eyes, a bushy beard, and a mustache that looked like it was waving in the wind. The head resembled either a pagan god or a savage barbarian who would worship such a god. A round keyhole was sunk into the open mouth.
