About the book: 2016 / Newark has a hundred faces and a thousand greedy mouths, because the Abyss over which it is built is eternally hungry. And again children disappear on the streets, bootleggers are shot in an underground bar, and another body of a firefly starlet with a lily in her mouth is caught from the river. A new gangster war is about to break out, and the damned Pipe, finding itself in the wrong hands, will open the gates to the Abyss. And to prevent the return of the overthrown gods, Mainford, the senior malefic of the police department, must find the one who started the big game. But what can he do, capable of hearing the voices of the city and therefore almost mad? Unless you ask a new reader for help. True, she seems to hate Mainford... However, what does this matter for the matter??
