The gates between the human world and the world of demons suddenly swung wide open - and a stream of ghosts and apparitions, zombies, werewolves and dozens more creatures of Darkness poured into modern cities. However, life goes on... only paranormal crimes were added to human crimes, and the police got new ones rivals are private detectives - exorcists. The highly experienced Felix Castor is rightfully considered the best exorcist in England. True, he fiercely hates his profession and agrees to work only in exceptional cases. But this time the case is truly exceptional. The ghost of the dead girl Abigail Torringgon has been kidnapped. The inconsolable parents are sure that their deceased but precious baby was kidnapped by her mother’s former lover, Denis Peace, also an exorcist and also an old friend of a pack of werewolves who went over to the service of the Holy Church.
