En el Praga de finales del siglo XIX, una ciudad dividida por tensiones políticas y sociales, el aristócrata Karel Adam Arco, conocido como Adi, lleva una vida de excesos y decadencia. Sin embargo, el asesinato de una prostituta y la llegada de una misteriosa princesa judía lo arrastran a una trama de intrigas y secretos oscuros que lo obligarán a involucrarse en la convulsa realidad que lo rodea. Esta novela histórica sumerge al lector en una atmósfera opresiva y decadente, donde los fantasmas del pasado se entrelazan con las ambiciones del presente, y donde Adi deberá enfrentarse a sus propios demonios para desentrañar la verdad detrás de los crímenes que amenazan con destruir la ciudad.
