Why did Kott and Kutilek go on a deadly ride that took the lives of four people?
Was it the work of Satan?
Who was one of the youngest murderers in Czechoslovak history and what did he do with his companion?
For what reason did teenage combat sports fanatics murder an entire family?
The authors reveal the context of three Czech cases. They are based on exclusive interviews with police officers, experts and direct participants in the crimes, as well as on investigative files. They reveal more than has been said or written about the cases so far.
The book contains a design element - the so-called. an uncut abdomen that evokes an investigative file.

The combination of Honza's lawyerly and Milan's journalistic style brings a unique approach that is unparalleled in the Czech true crime pond.
