A task for a reliable executioner

The battle with crime and the evil deeds of people with twisted hearts is eternal. And eternal is also the effort of those who face this reverse side of the "human paradise" in one way or another. They include a peculiar trio of friends: a lawyer, a former criminal officer (now a private detective) and a charming psychologist, characters the reader had the opportunity to meet in A Dream of the Gallows. Now, under the influence of circumstances, the trio has grown to include an unconventionally advancing police investigator who often meets resistance from his superiors.
