District City S

The district city S*** seems like a quiet, almost forgotten corner of the Empire. This is where the Petrograd lieutenant Natan Titov is strictly dispatched with a demotion in rank. But one cannot expect a peaceful life in the province: soon a body of a young woman is found on the cape in a strange pose. Together with an eccentric partner who can manipulate the essence of things, he must solve a case that intertwines crime, magic, and old secrets.
