OverviewLord 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. Arco buys up a house and refuses to move out, going into battle with the corrupt officials at the Town Hall. But the Quarter is rocked by the appearance of a murderer and Arco is also distracted from his cause by the appearance of a femme fatale whose heart he must conquer. With his trademark Gothic wit and invention, Urban has conjured up another dizzying Bulgakov-like cocktail of romance, murder and mystery worthy of the 'dark knight of Czech literature.'
