The story takes place in Budapest in 1936. The coffin of the Hungarian Prime Minister was transported back from Germany, and his dream of turning Hungary into a fascist country was temporarily buried along with him. Journalist Chismond Gordon, who investigates criminals, has other things on his mind. A clue led him to a crime scene in a dilapidated neighborhood of the city. A beautiful and well-dressed young woman was killed, with only a Jewish prayer book on her... To investigate this murder case, Gordon entered a world full of pornographic writers, brothels, and communist cells, all of which were linked to the upper echelons of power. The deeper people tried to scare him away, the deeper he dug. During the investigation, he had no idea who to trust, nor did he know which force had been opposing him all along, trying to cover up the facts.[Collapse]
