Bridey Devine - an anachronism in London at the end of the 19th century or an integral attribute of it? On the one hand, her integrity raises doubts among the champions of Victorian morality (the honorable widow, and suddenly in the service of the police!). And on the other hand, who else but her can navigate the thick fog of this monstrous city: she knows how to handle corpses and even if she sees a ghost with her own eyes, she absolutely won’t believe in it. This book is a journey through time and space, an entire universe inhabited amphibians, circus freaks and tattooed ghosts.
