Ein Sexualverbrecher macht die Straßen des imperialen Wiens unsicher und Inspektor Oskar Reinhardt bittet seinen Freund, den Psychoanalytiker Max Liebermann, um Hilfe. Denn die ersten Zeichen weisen darauf hin, dass es sich nicht um einen typischen 'Lustmörder' handelt, sondern um ein neues Phänomen. Um das Verhalten des Täters zu verstehen, muss Liebermann die jüngsten Entwicklungen der Psychoanalyse nutzen und eine Reise in noch nicht kartierte Regionen der menschlichen Seele machen. Und im Laufe der Ermittlungen werden Liebermann und Reinhardt in die Welten der Kunst und Mode eingesogen, Welten, in denen sich hinter glamourösen Erscheinungen die düstersten Geheimnisse verbergen.
