Pro vy dobro Ayliffe Tim (2020)

This Czech-language thriller follows experienced war correspondent John Bailey, who returns from ten months in captivity in the Middle East and drinks his way through a lonely existence. Broken and in need of a new beginning in his personal life, he also longs for a major newspaper story. Few would look for one in the murder of a young prostitute in Sydneys red-light district, where such reports appear in the tabloids every day. Yet something is seriously wrong with this particular killing, and Baileys editor knows it. He sends Bailey to follow the invisible threads leading from the young woman to an adviser to the defense minister, who has suddenly disappeared. Bailey has bulldog endurance, a journalists instinct, an astonishing talent for infuriating people and a terrible thirst, but in a game involving the greater good and matters of state, frontline pawns are always replaceable.
