MISS MARPLE IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC? A YOUNG. UNIQUE. TEACHER. The peaceful life of a small town on the Brda border is stirred up by the death of an eccentric teacher. Josefína Divíšková, a young painter originally from Prague and also a teacher who found a temporary refuge in Brod, begins to unravel the threads of the case in her own style (and humor). Who and for what reason could have killed Alena the Great, who may have been a little goofy but never hurt anyone? How are the harsh owners of the local car dealership, the victim's husband Rudolf Výborný, the mentally retarded young man Pavel Řábek or another of the Brod grammar school teachers, Běta Benčáková, related to the case? Will Josefína succeed in uncovering the background of the scandalous crime before the criminal investigators? Or will she have to work with Commissioner Tvrdík, who is likeable and damn good looking, but still – or maybe because of that – he drinks more of her blood than is healthy?
