Highbrow gothic

index.gif
Dead of winter, 1804. Konigsberg, East Prussia, already on edge awaiting invasion by Napoleon Bonaparte.

An aged, eccentric Immanuel Kant enlists the aid of a young rural magistrate to unmask a serial killer terrorizing the city.

Elements of the mystic and demonic combine in Michael Gregorio’s Critique of Criminal Reason as bodies continue to turn up, with no visible wounds. Is it the devil’s handiwork?

Kant has now joined the ranks of many other celebrity detectives. He finds himself in excellent and diverse company along with Jane Austen, Benjamin Franklin, King Edward VII and Groucho Marx!
