In a crime-free "virtual" London, a theme park re-created for tourists, Mary Graham is found murdered in a dark Whitechapel alley. Roberta Morgenstern, a qualified witch, and her assistant Clément Martineau, fresh out of the police academy, set out to find the man who is bringing notorious murderers back to life. "Gifted with talent and imagination, Hervé Jubert has a real capacity for dialogue in this story." –Magazine Littéraire
