About the book: 2006 / Mysterious, like "The Name of the Rose", ominous, like "Sleepy Hollow", exciting, like "Brotherhood of the Wolf", - this is how the press responded about Yuri Burnosov's trilogy “Numbers and Signs”. A cunning detective intrigue is woven into the fabric of a fascinating historical fantasy novel, and the hero leading the investigation often wonders whether he is confronted by a criminal of flesh and blood, or whether there are dark otherworldly forces behind the atrocities committed. The Prime Constable of the Securative Chamber, Jaime Beaufranc, comes to a secluded town lost in the woods, where a series of bloody murders took place. Thus, almost routinely, amazing events begin that will lead the world to the brink of destruction - and only the strong in spirit and pure in heart will be able to keep it from falling.
