About the book: 2011 / At first glance, an ordinary city, similar to Victorian London... but not quite. After all, elves, gnomes and orcs coexist with people here. And representatives of the Elder Blood, it must be said, break the law no less often than people - but ordinary police officers rarely solve crimes committed by them - or in their midst. Such work goes to share of private detectives with magical abilities - people who managed to understand the strange laws by which the capital's "non-humans" live. And, perhaps, the best of these detectives is Gabril, nicknamed Seabiscuit. He barely makes ends meet. All the leaders of the city gangs dream of getting rid of him - no matter whether they are human or not. Representatives of the law do not trust him. But no one can take one thing away from him - Gabril is not afraid of anyone or anything and does his difficult job well.!..
