Vienna, 1903. Outside one of the city's most splendid baroque
churches, the decapitated body of a monk is found. Then, the
remains of a municipal councillor are discovered in the grounds of
another church - his head also ripped from his body. Both men were
rabid anti-Semites, and suspicions fall on Vienna's close-knit
community of Hasidic Jews. In a city riven by racial tensions and
extremism, the situation is potentially explosive. Detective
Inspector Rheinhardt turns to his trusted friend, the young
psychoanalyst Doctor Max Liebermann, for assistance. As the
investigation progresses, Liebermann is drawn into the world of
Jewish mysticism. Amid the atmosphere of threat and fear,
Liebermann's life is in crisis. Political forces conspire against
him, and the object of his romantic desires, the unreachable Miss
Lydgate, is becoming an unhealthy obsession...
