A historical detective story about the first case to be tackled by Captain Stein and the notary Barbarič, who are investigating a crime in the Habsburg Empire during the reign of Rudolf II.

At the end of the 16th century in the Christian borderlands a war was raging with the Ottoman Empire. The Turks were trying to penetrate to the rich mining towns in Upper Hungary.  War veteran Stein is sent to Štiavnica to discover the traitor preparing to show the enemy a hidden way into the well-fortified town. Stein has to join forces with the town’s notary Matej Barbarič in order to unravel a tangle of conspiracy and crime, much of which reaches back into the distant past.
