About the book: 2002 / Let's say you are a pretty cynic. (Well, that’s how life happened!) Let’s say that you are also a representative of the desperately cynical profession of a private detective. And not just anywhere, but in the glorious magical city of Turai, where healthy cynicism is generally a condition for survival...Admitted? Well, then you will understand me! Me - the most famous (and, as usual, forever unemployed) Turai detective. But - any cynicism, I apologize, recedes when it is necessary AT ALL COSTS to save the prodigal daughter of an old friend, who seemed to have inflicted an unthinkable insult on the indecently proud elves from the Elven Islands. And on on those islands - well, everything is Elvish. Conspiracies are brewing, the Sacred Tree is burning, ghosts disguised with spears are wandering, someone is knocking out the Elven people. Terrible, right? Still not terrible. We don’t take on other things. Forward - to the Elven Islands!!!
