A nagy per, mely ezer éve folyik s még sincs vége (1. kötet)

A quiet riverside village is shaken when a young servant girl vanishes without a trace. Rumors spread like wildfire, linking her disappearance to a long‑standing blood‑libel myth against the local Jewish community. As the story unfolds, the press and public opinion turn the tragedy into a fevered spectacle, turning ordinary villagers into fervent accusers and turning the case into a national obsession.

At the heart of the narrative is the lawyer who defended three of the accused, forced to navigate a maze of prejudice, political opportunism, and the raw emotions of a crowd easily swayed. Through his eyes, listeners glimpse the mechanics of a massive court proceeding that captivates not only Hungary but the whole of Europe. The first act sets the stage for a gripping exploration of how fear and ideology can shape justice, leaving the outcome of the trial—and the fate of the missing girl—still hanging in the balance.
