À propos de la deuxième de couverture

Six confined psychopaths. A killer on the loose.

1935. As Europe prepares itself for a calamitous war, six homicidal maniacs - the so-called 'Devil's Six' - are confined in a remote castle asylum in rural Czechoslovakia. Each patient has their own dark story to tell and Dr Viktor Kosárek, a young psychiatrist using revolutionary techniques, is tasked with unlocking their murderous secrets.

At the same time, a terrifying killer known as 'Leather Apron' is butchering victims across Prague. Successfully eluding capture, it would seem his depraved crimes are committed by the Devil himself.

Maybe they are . . . and what links him with the insane inmates of the castle asylum?

Only the Devil knows. And it is up to Viktor to find out.

Inspired by the folklore of Eastern Europe and set in the shadow of the Nazi darkness erupting just beyond the Czech border, this stylishly written, twisted, and richly imagined novel is impossible to put down.
