Скорбь сатаны

The action of the novel takes place in London in 1895. Satan walks among people in search of another toy with which he can amuse himself to show God that he can corrupt anyone. He wants to find someone worthy who can resist temptations, which will be difficult because disbelief, corruption, and depravity reign all around.

Once again, as he reflects on his desperate situation, he notices three letters on the table.

The second is a note from a lawyer detailing that he has inherited a fortune from a deceased relative.

Will Jeffrey be able to make the right choice, preserve his talent and soul?..
