- Synopsis
- Melchior Wakenstede is a clever and curious
  apothecary who, in addition to healing the
  sick, solves murders that shake the town. In a
  medieval world, where people look for signs
  of God or the Devil in everything, Melchior’s
  detective work appears to be truly magical – it’s
  even believed that he can speak with the dead.
  Melchior’s actual “secret weapon” is his knack
  for noticing traitorous details and his ability to
  understand the darkest desires of the human
  soul. He knows, better than anyone else, that
  sin is waiting at the door, and temptation can
  poison even the most noble of intentions.
