Description
This Czech-language historical mystery is set in Vienna in 1896. During a magic act called “The Divided Maiden,” a young actress dies in front of a shocked audience. Inspector Leopold von Herzfeldt begins investigating, with journalist Julia Wolfová, his unhappy love, close behind him. Soon more dead women are found around the Prater: young prostitutes and maids whom few people miss. Each victim is dressed differently. Leo needs help, so he turns to his friend, the gravedigger Augustin Rothmayer, who is writing a new book, What the Dead Tell Us, and conducting strange experiments. Together, Leo, Julia and Augustin try to stop the murderer’s cruel theatre.
