The Chefs of Death

What secrets did Kohn's Mill give up, and what brought the German "tourist" Huse to Bohemia? Where did a medieval superstition about the blood of unborn children lead a group of criminals? And what motives drove the murderers Hojer, Kulík, and Čurko to commit their horrific acts? The author investigates perhaps the most terrifying form of crime—cases involving cannibalism. From archives, police files, and the memories of those directly involved, he brings to the pages of this book stories in which the perpetrators crossed the line of the ultimate taboo.
