Prague 1910. Kisch investigates his first case Prague is in turmoil. The end of the world is imminent. In May 1910, the earth is supposed to cross the tail of Halley's comet - everyone looks to the sky, and the criminals on earth have an easy time. Egon Erwin Kisch, notorious reporter for 'Bohemia', investigates his first case on his own. He even allows himself to be locked up in prison as a felon in order to drink port wine with the head of the Prague underworld. Fortunately, Kisch gets help: from the Czech customs officer Novák, who struggles with panic attacks, the shy eccentric Brodesser and, of course, from his congenial partner Lenka Weißbach, actually a medical student, who is interested in evil and, like her buddy Kisch, is at home in the narrow streets of Prague. - The furious start of a new crime series about Egon Erwin Kisch and Lenka Weißbach as an investigator duo. 'Martin Becker and Tabea Soergel love old Prague and make it shine! A magical journey through time through the narrow streets of the golden city - and to a brilliant investigator and reporter, with humor to boot. This is Babylon Praha!'
