God left people and gave them freedom of action: everyone has a choice of fate. But someone has to look after people. The Bible speaks of the voice of the Lord, but no one has seen God himself. Maybe his words indicated in the Bible are not his? Then who rules our world and ensures that all God's laws are fulfilled? Does a person have the right to punish another, if even God refused to judge people? We sentence the guilty to death, and his soul suffers in anticipation of the end. But isn't our whole life a painful expectation of death? This detective story begins in Europe. Eight icons of an unknown author are being put up for auction at a secret auction. A month later, an Australian multimillionaire asks a private detective to come to his castle. He is concerned about the strange behavior of his grandson and only heir. He blames the painting given to his grandson for all the misfortune. London detective Rupert Coe begins to investigate the boy's sudden and strange behavior - an unexpectedly rapid recovery from cancer and a fall into a state of detachment from the world. Rupert's path of investigation leads him through various parts of the World, where he witnesses strange events. The search for a possible criminal - the author of the painting - leads Rupert to an ancient secret, which is closely connected with a book nicknamed the "Devil's Bible" or the "Code of Gigas".
