В мире властвуют пар и электричество, наука полностью заменила религию. Магия – это удел лишь немногочисленных адептов. Граница между преисподней и реальностью очень тонкая. Последователям научных изысканий не всегда удается сдерживать натиск инфернальных существ.

Книга описывает историю детектива-констебля, работающего в сыскной полиции. От предков он получил удивительный дар – воплощать фобии и страхи силой воображения. Только избавился от собственных кошмаров, но ему снова предстоит участвовать в опасной игре.

Кто же тот таинственный кукловод? Что предпримет герой – убежит или примет вызов? Начните читать роман, где интриги сплетены очень искусно, а финал непредсказуем!

About the author

Pavel Kornev

102 books91 followers
Pavel Kornev is a popular Russian author whose writing crosses the boundaries of the sci fi thriller, fantasy adventure and steampunk. Genre mashing has long become his signature style.

“His books are a page-turning mix of non-stop action and hard-boiled detective stories in the edgy atmosphere of steampunk noir. Far from being a knight on a white charger, Kornev’s typical protagonist is an everyday man with his fair share of flaws who puts his talents to good use. His heroes struggle to survive and win their places in the sun; but most importantly, they manage to preserve their humanity even in the direst of circumstances.”

Pavel is a professional economist who spent years working for a large bank – until his first novel, The Ice, became an overnight bestseller, allowing him to quit his day job. He now writes full time.
