The first book of a detective series in a new fantasy world. The nobles of the barony, through a hyperactive young man with an attention disorder, hire a famous detective to investigate murders. But the detective remains anonymous. Four strangers arrive in the city: a girl who has come to the big city for the first time, a crazy old woman, a dull big man and a rich traveler. One of them will have to save the nobles from the murderer and the wrath of the king. “Don't you think this is funny? Instead of looking for the killer, we puzzle over the person who catches him. We have corpses, we have a culprit, but we don’t know who is establishing the reasons for what happened. What, huh?” The series has common characters and a storyline, but the crimes are solved within each book without carrying over the intrigue to the next.
