Lisa is a typical thirty-year-old loser from our dull world. Everything is bad for her - both in her personal life and at work. And then the cat Pusya runs away into the November darkness and slush. Lisa runs after him - and finds herself in a completely different, sunny and progressive St. Petersburg. Here she is met by the bloodhounds of the Russian Empire - the best detectives of all the worlds, led by the charming mustache Philip Petrovich. Series "Cozy Empire", cycle "Bloodhounds of the Russian Empire", book 2. The main characters of the cycle are agents of the 7th Department of Her Majesty's Personal Office, investigating crimes against animals. The bloodhounds work cheerfully and naturally, and live in a wonderful alternative Russia, where levitation trains fly over St. Isaac's Cathedral, a 3D printer prints women's hats, and the empress's father assembles a crew for a flight to Mars. Instead of magic in this world there are powerful technologies, seasoned with charming traditions of the 19th century. And the rights of the smallest pets are just as important as human rights.
