Book Description
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.
