Having returned from the war, I found myself in an unfamiliar city without housing, without money and prospects for the future. My life should have ended in a dark alley from the claws and teeth of a creature unknown to science - if not for a man in a raincoat, top hat and with a huge revolver .What kind of person is this? Why did he save me? And what the hell is this city, so ordinary and at the same time strange, scary and mysterious? I thought I had seen everything - whoever served in the army does not laugh in the circus. But it turned out that there are still many things on earth that mere mortals like me never even dreamed of.
