If you are a detective, then you are familiar with the truth: “There are many creatures in the world, but the most cruel is man.” This is especially well learned in war. Sergeant Gabriel, nicknamed Seabiscuit, returns from the war to his hometown. But here everything is as before: stagecoaches rumble along the pavement, moneylenders and pawnshops jingle with gold, bandits collect debts. And of course, intrigues are woven and crimes are committed. The soldier’s rags are worse than bitter radishes and you need to eat something. A former sergeant takes up the usual craft of a private detective. And he immediately finds himself in a business of increased complexity and danger. The detective has only two weeks to unravel it. If he doesn’t meet the deadline, his client will die... It’s easy to start dancing a jig with death, but once you’ve taken it on, you have to dance with it until the very end.
