Plot: In 1930s Czechoslovakia a serial killer is stalking the streets of Prague. About an hour away, locked in an asylum built in an old castle are 6 of Eastern Europe's most notorious criminals. A young psychiatrist seeks to learn the origin of evil even though it seems to be closing in from all sides.
Review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This book is great. In books that deal with two storylines, I usually find that I like one of them more and can't wait to get back to it, but in this book each of them were equally strong. The interviews with the six criminals were interesting and horrifying, and the terror running through Prague reminded me of the movie Seven. Definitely recommended to those looking for a dark, but well-written horror/mystery book.
