Bloody Hetman

Murders, a court conspiracy… and wedding preparations! Murdered knights have started appearing around Prague. The initial suspicion of bandits is quickly dispelled, and all signs point to a perpetrator from the highest social circles. Sir Filip is an old man of a blessed age, but when he was a young man, he helped his uncle Jakub of Zbyň – the royal notary – investigate crimes committed by the sinful inhabitants of the Kingdom of Bohemia. He recorded three particularly intriguing cases for future generations in a book titled Three Crimes at the Court of Charles IV. The story of the Bloody Captain affects Filip personally, as his future wife Majdalenka also gets involved in the investigation. However, this is certainly no romantic idyll! Murdered knights – near whom someone has left a bloody scarf – have started appearing around Prague. The initial suspicion of bandits is quickly dispelled, and all signs point to a perpetrator from the highest social circles. Even Emperor Charles IV himself starts to feel nervous… In the end, Filip, Majdalenka and Filip's uncle Jakub of Zbyň catch the culprit, and the young couple can finally plan their wedding.
