And the price of victory can be too high...Mysterious deaths.James Marwood, a clerk in the government service and the son of a state criminal, learns that his father found the body of a certain woman near the meeting place of the Fire Court. The next day, an old man dies after being hit by a cart on a busy street. An accident? Or another murder?..The pursuit of a murderer.Determined to uncover the truth, Marwood turns to the only person he can trust - Kat Lovett, the daughter of a regicide who participated in a conspiracy against King Charles I.

James and Kat are forced to confront a desperate criminal whose actions threaten not only themselves, but also the future of the whole of London...For the first time in Russian!
