Vienna 1903, a city struggling with cultural and religious identity, a melting pot of wealth and grinding poverty and a powder keg in the wrong hands. Inspector Reinhardt involves psychoanalyst Dr Max Leibermann after two men are murdered on church grounds, their heads literally torn off their shoulders. Locals are whispering that the devil or some older superstitions are responsible.
Reinhardt’s enquiries establish anti Semitic ties between the victims and he sends Max to interview Barash, the powerful leader of the city’s Hasidic community. Could the murders be politically motivated or have the Hasidim summoned a protector they cannot control. Max doesn’t think he much time left to find out.
