Mystery Historical
At the dawn of the Enlightenment, criminal justice had
only begun to evolve into a science. In this historical
detective work, Detective Hanno Stiffeniis arrives in the
city of Konigsberg to assist in finding the culprit in an
enigmatic string of murders. Are the deaths part of a plot
formed by Napoleon's spies to undermine the Prussian king,
or the work of a solitary, un¬known killer? The case -
would seem unsolvable, were it not for the assistance and
unmatched intellect of his mentor, Immanuel Kant. It has been years since Kant published his landmark
philosophical work, Critique of Pure Reason,
bringing him fame throughout Europe and making him
Konigsberg's best-known citizen. But now, Kant must apply
his theories not to the mind of the average man, but to
mind of a serial killer. Together the young detective and
the elderly, eccentric philosopher try to track down the
killer who has the city held by the throat.
