This is a kaleidoscopic tale of romance, murder and mystery, with Gothic overtones. 'Lord Mord' tells the story of Count Arco, a keen fencer and womanizer in 19th century Prague high society, who makes a lone stand against the destruction of the popular Jewish quarter, with its Bohemian nightlife and whorehouses.
Written in the style of a literary thriller, but with an intriguing historical and even supernatural mystery at its core, The Seven Churches is set in the medieval New Town of Prague, a quarter of the city with a number of Gothic churches. Here K, a misfit policeman subject to extraordinary visions, witnesses a bizarre incident followed by a series of strange murders. -- Cover.
