There are people whose past contains hidden actions that condemn them to damnation - in their own eyes. And even many years later they are tormented by the demon of dissatisfaction. So is William Heaney, but with one amendment: he really believes that he sees demons. One thousand five hundred and sixty-seven, no more, no less. William knows for sure that demons love to accumulate on yellowed pages and in torn spines of old books. Therefore, he prefers fakes to real old books. In fact, he is a great master at making them. William is an expert on old pubs in Central London. He hates his ex-wife's new husband, a fashionable chef, and tries to keep the demon of love out of his life. He does not understand what the beautiful Yasmin saw in him, and he is sure that the name Anna would have suited her better. He carefully built his life, atoning for one, but unforgivable mistake of his stormy student youth, but the building erected with such difficulty began to tilt when a tramp, casually familiar with William, chained himself to the bars of Buckingham Palace, threatening to detonate a bomb... For the first time in Russian - an amazing story of an amazing obsession.
