A female necromancer is like a guinea pig - she has nothing to do with pigs or the sea. Moreover, decent girls should get married and lead a decent lifestyle, and not run through cemeteries and raise the dead. The entire society of Parisienne is so confident, except for Etienne Beauharnais. The police magician, who grew up in the slums, is accustomed to relying only on his own opinion, and when bloodless bodies appear in the city, he attracts Françoise d'Aigret, a certified necromancer and simply a beauty, to the investigation. The society is in shock, the prefect of police is indignant, but if these two take up the investigation, they will see it through to the end. And even love won’t stop them!
