About the book: 2020 / The novel takes place in an alternative world... very similar to ours. But, besides humanity, there are spirits in it, sometimes entering into a contract with people to provide magical power in exchange for something expensive upon its completion. Of course, taking on unclear obligations is scary. However, if power is at stake... Why not? In the United Kingdom, serious tragedies occur almost simultaneously: a train crash and a drilling rig explosion. The investigation of these incidents is being carried out by the operational service of the governor of one of the provinces, who believes that something similar could happen in his area. Ultimately, the line of investigation turns out to be closely intertwined with the dramatic fates of those who are directly involved in it.
